ARTICLE TRANSLATE screen -> save button shouldnt be available until after user chooses language.
It should be disabled until they choose the language.
UPDATE:
A better solution is to show only those languages that are available (i.e. where translations exist for issue & section). And then, if the user has permission, show a separate control to “translate issue and section” where the user can add new translations.
In this way you dont have wait for the screen to refresh when you are doing a translation (and you dont have to do whats above – disabling the “Save” button). And it makes it more obvious whats going on, and makes the drop down menu for the language nice and compact.
Update #2:
“Add article” screens should work like this as well.
