Clarify the difference between "Explanation" and "Translation explanation" fields #11810

Closed tjhietala closed 2 months ago

Describe the problem

It's possible for a glossary entry to have two explanations, "Explanation" (shown on the line above the entry proper) and "Translation explanation" (shown below). It's not clear what's the difference between the two and Weblate's documentation does not seem to explain it either.

Additionally, a URL in the "Explanation" field is converted to a link, but an identical URL in the "Translation explanation" field is not. Also, the "Explanation" field is not editable from the normal glossary view, but evidently it can be edited somewhere...

After changes already implemented for https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues/9082 the explanations are differentiated with a tooltip (see https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/f-droid/website-posts/zh_Hans/?checksum=f5df50c12a059caa).

The source string explanation can be changed on the source string, translation on the translation.
