My question to the maintainers of entity_translation is, would this functionality be of interest to entity_translation ?
Rather than use the create_and_translate module and patch it, it would be fairly easy to add this functionality directly to entity_translation in the form of a patch for the entity_translation module.
works nicely, content creators will be pleased.
Improves the UX, saves a page load.
The 'Save' button in the add entity form should probably be renamed to 'Save and view'
where-as the complementary 'Create and Translate' button is already logically named.
eventually might be nice to add support for other entity_types like term entity and file entity types.
That module dev branch now has the commit for et compatibility, however there is an even better ui improvement, check out this amazing module, best ui for entity_translation yet, I believe it should be included with et 7.x is available NOW, and consider ui for D8 core.

Otherwise, try the aforementioned create_and_translate module and patch that adds entity_translation support.

plach+1 on adding support for ET in create_and_translate, so this is an opt-in feature.

joseph.olstadok, so leave it to the create_and_translate module? BTW, the patch for create_and_translate is working nicely for us.

I convinced the developer to publish this module he wrote after I saw it in action, now the entire Drupal 7.x install base can use it.
Is a must have for content editors on bilingual or multilingual sites.
