Inter-language team collaboration

Hi.
I translate LibreOffice to Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) and a colleague translate it to Portuguese (PT). These two languages are 99.99% identical, only some colloquial and vocabulary changes.

When translating, I use Pootle feature to display what my friends have done in PT/FR/ES to help me in PT-BR. But I also catch some of their mistakes and typos.

I would like to have a "Suggest" button on the PT (or FR, ES) string display on translating, to help my friends when I catch a typo or think on a better translation. That button should be on the right of the PT/ES/FR display, above the PT-BR input textarea.

That way, I can suggest a better translation or typo correction to them, without leaving my translation environment and navigate to their translation/suggestion page.

These corrections will gently appear as suggestion and can be easily picked by them.

I think this boils down to having the language label act as a clickable permalink to a translation in another language. This way one can open this unit in a new tab and provide their suggestion, or comment, or just edit the translation if they have the right to do so (which is great for localization managers). Sounds like a low-hanging fruit that doesn't clutter the UI while providing a reasonable value.
