User friendly interface for managing translations from user point of view

Hello,

we have some description fields in our custom models we need to get
translated.
I know everything about the standard odoo mechanism, but I’m thinking
about something more maintainable by end users.

So what I’m looking for is a more user friendly interface for users to
access the stored translations for a field.
More user friendly than switching their own language preference or going
into edit mode and press this little globe button that leads to
ir.translation.

Do you know something like that?
Maybe has anybody already written widgets for this?
I could imagine something similiar like this globe button, but also
vissible in read mode, opening a popup for changing the language only
for that field for a moment, or something like that.

Any hinds?

Thanks, regards, Peter

    I think there is a minor bug.
    I tried it in odoo v12 and got some error about maxLength.
    However since I only use it for a form with only translatable fields of
    type Text, the error is gone, so I assume there is something wrong for
    fields of type Char, but I didn’t investigate further though.

    Hi Christian, 
    
    well i wouldn't say its perfectly easy to use but a way better than the
    standard function.
    
    @Peter: If that woul be integrated with automated translation that'll
    be a good improvement i guess.
