Continuous automated translation weirdness

I have configured the site to automatically translate content using DeepL. The deepl provider is set to "auto accept finished translations". This works (mostly) fine, but I have noticed a strange behaviour related to "needs translation".

  1. When no translation exists, translation is generated on edit.
  2. When translation already exists, new translation is only generated if the "Flag other translations as outdated" is set.
  3. When a new translation is added by DeepL, the "this translation is outdated" flag is not removed.

Ideally, I woudl like to have following configuration options:

  1. "Flag other translations as outdated" publishing option. analogous to "Create new revision"
  2. "Auto update translation status" in addition to "Auto accept finished translations" in the Deepl provider configuration. Or globally.

When both these options are set, the default would be to ask the Deepl to translate on every edit and the "outdated" flag would be automatically removed afterwards.
