Issue
- Currently, multi-language support is only possible when using separate sections. So one can repeat the same text in different languages in a separate paragraph. From a visualisation perspective, this is fine. But when it comes to reference the different entries, one would need to set a reference to the same structured content. But this is not allowed accross sections.
Recommendation
- Migrate to the new datatypes.
- Or allow for cross-section referencing of entries.
Rationale
- It does not make sense to repeat the same structured information for each translation.
