[Feature] Automatic reverse translations and similarity scores in the list of translations

[epoberezkin]

Describe the problem

Reviewing and verifying the translations submitted by the external contributors.

While the translations are submitted by the community, the software vendor is still both responsible and accountable for their correctness, so they have to be verified. Currently it is only possible by visually comparing proposed translations with the automatic suggestions. Also, in non-latin languages (Chinese, Arabic, etc.) it is not as simple. Another current way to verify translations is by translating the suggestions with google translate and comparing them with the source string.

Describe the solution you'd like

Several things would hugely help

• Automatic reverse translations (not of source strings to the target language, but in the opposite direction)
• Batching these translations so it doesn't require opening a word for it to happen
• Showing a similarity score of reverse translation to a source string, allowing to filter and order by these translations, so only outliers with a low similarity scores need to be reviewed.

This issue has been put aside. It is currently unclear if it will ever be implemented as it seems to cover too narrow of a use case or doesn't seem to fit into Weblate.

Please try to clarify the use case or consider proposing something more generic to make it useful to more users.
