Copy/paste value from other language

[andersburla]

A great idea from a customer. When doing multi lingual sites and using the grid (and other properties) it makes sense to have a copy/paste function. So copy the english grid to german and then start editing the content. Would take WAY to much time to insert all the grid items again.

Let me know a budget for the function and I can talk to the customer about that. So a win/win :)

OR maybe it should be a core thing in the grid. Would be nive to copy/paste the entire grid JSON or an entire row, or an item.

I have a WIP of this here https://github.com/anth12/umbraco-vorto/tree/copy-value. For basic controls such as textbox's it works fine but the Grid layout is a little buggy.

Not sure how the UI should be done but for now I have based it on the Pinned language drop down

That looks fantastic anth12. Have you made a pull request?

@runegronkjaer not yet, I still need to fix some issues copying values for more complex types (grid control) and any feedback on the copy UI would be appreciated.

The UI is pretty good. I could teach my users to use that. It would have to be smart about overwriting the content on the other language. It would be terrible for the users to accidentally replace the text they may have written on another language.
