I know about this and it does not solve the problem. It is very
complicated to filter out useful information from this view and changing
texts is a clicking nightmare.

No. When you have a review team this is probably of less importance, but
for josm and merkaartor until now we decided to use open access. This has
advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that you may
need to revert changes by certain users.

Currently this is a pain, especially if you forgot to do so early and the
changes went into upstream. Currently is not only a pain, but a nighmare
to get the old strings back in this case.

If your concern is not to clutter the UI - Well I agree. Probably make
this user choosable. So have a checkbox somewhere which says "From now on
please show me all options until I uncheck this" or something like that.

Also please allow to view more than 10 translations at once.
