But TMG translates the Sentence Structure based on the context of the
report. This is the same problem with displaying a preview of the sentence
in the tag. There are too many possible ways the sentence could be
translated. Of course, it could translate the Sentence and then display
(export in the above case) all the possible translations -- but it would
sure slow down the program and the user probably would not benefit anyway.
