in the document the different paradigms are explained, so posting this 
link was addressed to all people reading this, may be finding this post 
via google when they struggle with localization.

i understand what you mean. What i see is that it's not TV-related but 
core related.
It seems normal to me that, if you copy an element, it's always handled 
as single record. As you described, the translation is in a new record, 
so i think you have to copy the translations each manually too.

It's quite difficult to implement such KI - copy single record/copy 
single record + all translations/copy single record + versionized 
records/ a.s.o.

Do you agree?
