The Current URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org is now visible in the top bar and you can change it to navigate to a specific page.
The Translation Submission screen is now a popover (see below) that is now opened by the top bar as well.

The highlighting of translatable text is now done with a background color instead of glowing text.
