Poll editor UI

• Languages It's possible to use the same poll in several languages.
  Reasons:
  - easy to manage: 1 active poll instead of 3
  - collect all votes in one place
  To use several langulages, it's needed to add translation for questions/answers
  The buttons allow to switch the current (for editing) poll language
• Buttons "Cancel" - close editor without changes
  "Save" - save changes and close Editor
• Start Votes To have a "nice" number of votes on the website to engage real users.
  The value doesn't affect real votes ratio.
• Display the poll on the website since "PERIOD START" [optional] It's possible to schedule the poll
  If the field isn't set, the poll is available from the current moment until "PERIOD END" (if it's set)
• Hide the poll on the website after "PERIOD END" [optional]
  If the field isn't set, the poll is available from the current moment or "PERIOD START" (if it's set)
• Mark the poll via tags [optional] The poll can be marked via tags, i.e. "news", "sport"
  Reasons:
  - simplify the poll updating on the website
  - support several polls at the same moment
  It's possible to mark some places on the website once via integration code with a specific tag.
  After that there is no need to update the website.
• Poll visibility It's possilbe to collapse the poll on the website if a user doesn't interact with the poll. I.e. show the poll [1] time per [day]. After that show only questions to save the page height.
• Edit poll's "text" via UI (Good for editing) The typical way to edit polls: edit questions, add choicess, etc.
• Edit poll's "text" via text editor (Good for creating) It's easier to prepare the poll in any comfortable text editor (MacOS Notes, Word, Google Docs), check spelling, share with someone and after that create the poll in one click.
• Field language Text fields are marked with the current poll language
• Question (text field)
• Attach media to a question Any question can contain media:
  - Image (image url is needed)
  - YouTube embed (iframe url is needed)
  - Brightcove player (video id is needed)
• Choices (text field)
• Add a new choice By default a poll question contains 2 choices
  It's possible to add any number of choices
• Delete a choice
