Ability to copy text from language translation speech bubble

[Luke]

I am attempting to translate from an Indonesian text, but I haven’t set up my collection for the Indonesian language. Therefore all of the words of the story appear in speech bubbles to the side. I am relatively familiar with the story, but I would like to get the advice of google translate in order to help guide my translation. It would be helpful if I could copy the text in the speech bubble in order to paste it into Google translate.

Thanks for the good work.

Hi Luke,
For now, what I would do is this:

1. In Settings, add Indonesian as one of your 3 languages.
2. In the Edit Tab, make the book a diglot temporarily by selecting Indonesian from the dropdown in the toolbar at the top. Indonesian will move from the source bubble to the page itself.
3. Now you can select and copy the Indonesian text.
4. Later, you can use the same dropdown to send the Indonesian off the page and back into the bubbles.

Copy text from "bubbles" on Credits page

When creating a book (or in some cases when translating a “shell”) it would be very useful to be able to copy information from the information bubbles attached to the editable text boxes. If this were possible, regional customizers could add information required for certain categories of books in that region, and it would be at hand when creating books rather than the user needing to copy/paste from another document. I can do this on a normal book page but not on the credits or title pages.
