this wasn't a feature request :)

more of a bit of learning / advice that we have from someone that started
translating from the second edition of our book and was then a bit 'at sea'
when they saw the third edition.

it isn't so much on each chapter save, but at the end of a sprint you might
want to sit down and spend 30 mins summarising everything you did at that
sprint so that the people that are translating know what happened. you can
do that in your 'history of this book' chapter or similar if you have one.
