Sections (or segments) are areas of contiguous transcript used to break translations into discreet parts.
Since the translation view is an extension of the single transcript view, this means we encounter sections in all views. Initially sections are defined from the generated paragraph start and end points.
In general sections remain fixed - for example when the user splits the paragraph into further paragraphs, new corresponding sections are NOT created (as we cannot know where to split the translation).
HOWEVER in order to give the user the freedom to edit as they wish, we DO need to allow paragraphs that are split over a number of sections to be concatenated. Currently we have a limitation where this is not possible and to make this clear to users we need to indicate sections not only in the translation view but also in the single-transcript view.
