Blocklist; segment arrangement the same between cultures, but not between the contents.

[Lucasharskamp]

Goal of the feature

Making editing documents that exist in many languages easier without having to painstakingly edit each language individually to be consistent with the others.

Explanation

Assume we have a document which is based on a blocklist. In the blocklist, one can add segments for a paragraph of text (with optional title), an image, an embedded audio file, etc.

The articles that spawn from it can be localized to many different languages; however, one would like to have the arrangement of the blocklist's items to be the same between cultures, but not the contents of these segments.

Example: Let's assume we localize the document to English, French and German. In all these 3 documents, we have a text and image segment like shown above. That's shared between cultures. So If I were to place the image above the text segment, that would be immediately reflected between all cultures when saving it. However, the paragraph of text within the text segment will still be localized depending on the language, so the inner contents would not be shared between cultures.

Required UI changes

Nothing, really; the text segment and image segment document types keep "allow culture variations" in their settings, but the blocklist using these segments can pick "the same between all cultures" in its settings. The only question of course is how this would affect backwards compatibility.
