--- Comment #1 from David Mason <damason at redhat.com> ---
This error happens when the normal conflict resolution mechanism in the editor
has not worked. Normally, when another translator saves a translation in the
same language for the string you are working on, you are shown a popup asking
whether to just keep their translation or keep working on your one.

The likely cause here is a slow or dropped connection to Zanata's event
service, so that the editor does not get a message about the other translation
being saved.


An easy change is to improve the error message so that it is clear to users
what has happened.

If the editor can be made to detect broken connections, this can be avoided by
prompting translators to refresh the browser to re-establish the connection, or
have the editor attempt to re-establish the connection before save operations.

Ultimately, if a user saves a translation before their editor has heard about a
concurrent translation being saved, the user should be prompted to resolve the
conflict the same as when the editor hears about a concurrent translation. This
may require the editor to fetch the latest translation after it receives this
error.
