+1. Couldn't we use Parsoid data tags to identify paragraphs? It seems like that would lend itself to an incremental migration.
i tried it once, at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire/de. if you look at the page its a mix of english and german. it shows 96% translated. if you look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=pag... it seems complete. and if you want to edit the original page i feel the user experience nightmarish. the reusability factor to translate articles from de.wikipedia to en.wikipedia or the other way round is zero. if this mess goes away i'd be happy :)
