Are you referring to making a highlight in one language, and then "replicating" that exact highlight in another language?

If I remember correctly, when this type of question was previously raised in the Forum, discussion centered around the challenges of accurately implementing that approach. If this was limited to entire verses, then that should be achievable since (I believe) verses are standardized between all languages. But since each language has different sentence constructs, trying to map partial-verse highlights would be impractical. And of course many words & expressions would likewise run into the same issues, where in certain languages a single word may translate into a multi-word approximation, or may even "disappear" in the translated context.

That said, since most Forum participants are regular Church members like yourself, generally we don't have any insider information regarding current or future plans. I'd suggest submitting this via the Feedback functionality found at the bottom of most Church webpages, or inside any of the Church apps. A verse-to-verse auto-mapping would definitely be of help to many members, including myself.

Not knowing anything about translations, I wonder how practical a sentence-to-sentence marking approach might work.

Doing a word-to-word sounds like an interesting project for a BYU class studying AI applications.
