Hi
These articles are "real" Joomla! articles but with many formatting code included. Will it work to transform it into a translated article keeping the same layout?
4Ai would work but the problem is that the YT builder does not allow any other extension to interact with its editor, unlike what Joomla does.
So while 4Ai would not have any issue with leaving the YT formatting code in place (it does that already for the HTMl code anyway, formatting comment are nothing special), it can't access the content when in the YT builder.
I talked with YooTheme at JoomlaDay Dach last year, but they are not opened to having an API or letting other access their editor. Until they allow access and have an API, not much will be possible.
Best regards
