Workflow: batch-translate project via "Run translation"

Description of the Problem

Translation bounding boxes shrink when translation fails → subsequent text becomes vertically stretched.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a project and run Translate.
2. Break the connection the the engine - either disable internet or kill the translator process.
3. The project continues the translation process going through all pages.

-> When the first translation attempt fails, the app deletes any text already there and then reduces the bounding box width and height to almost zero.

4. Restore the connection to the translation engine and run Translate again.

-> On the second attempt, the translator inserts the new text into the shrunken box. Because the bounding box information is lost, the text is rendered as a single narrow column of stretched letters.

Expected Behavior:
If no translated text can be inserted, the original bounding rectangle should remain unchanged (width, height,location). If the app is trying to insert a tiny bounding box in a batch operation, roll back to previous values instead. (At minimum, there should be a preference like “Never shrink bounding boxes; only expand to fit.)
