Localization breaks when editing text from the settings panel

Hi everyone!

I recently began to localize my site and encountered what I believe to be a bug with the localization hierarchy.

If I go to my secondary locale and translate any text, either with their built in translator or by myself. Then go back to my primary locale and edit the text from the settings panel on the right, the text on the secondary locale resets to whatever I just changed it to on my primary locale.

As I understand it, any content which is changed on the secondary locale should break the link between the two locales?

This is a huge problem when working with components as they are built to be edited from the settings panel on the right.

I don’t know if this was the right place to post this but I wanted to make you and the Webflow team aware of this bug so they can fix it.

However if there is a fix for this I don’t know about I would love to hear it.

Primary Locale: Original Text

Secondary Local: Translated

Primary Locale: Edited Text & Settings panel

Hope this gets fixed soon.
