Hi Aco,

It's really just the <div id="main-content"> that needs to be
translated, since everything else on the page is auto generated (book
title, left side navigation etc.) Having colour-coded diffs makes the
translation of updates many, many times quicker.

There is a feature request ticket open:

The side-by-side view was inspired by the old translate.flossmanuals.net
site, which was very cool.

Cheers!

Daniel
