Quiz editor UI

• Languages It's possible to use the quiz in several languages.
  Reasons:
  - easy to manage: 1 active quiz instead of 3
  - collect all votes/scores in one place
  To use several langulages, it's needed to add questions/answers translations
  The buttons allow to switch the current (for editing) quiz language
• Buttons "Cancel" - close editor without changes
  "Save" - save changes and close editor
• Display the quiz on the website since "PERIOD START" [optional] It's possible to schedule the quiz
  If the field isn't set, the quiz is available from the current moment to "PERIOD END" (if it's set)
• Hide the quiz on the website after "PERIOD END" [optional] If the field isn't set, the quiz is available from the current moment or "PERIOD START" (if it's set)
• Mark the quiz via tags The quiz can be marked via tags, i.e. "news", "sport"
  - isn't required
  Reasons:
  - simplify the quiz updating on the website
  - support several quizzes at the same time
  It's possible to mark (via integration code) some places on the website once with a specific tag.
  After that there is no need to update the website to post a new quiz.
• Edit quiz "text" via UI (Good for editing) The typical way to edit quizzes: add questions, add answers, select correct answers, etc.
• Edit quiz "text" via text editor (Good for creating) Editing via UI can be slow if it's needed to add a quiz with 10 questions x 4 anwers x 3 languages. It's easier to prepare the quiz in any comfortable text editor (MacOS Notes, Word, Google Docs), check spelling, share with someone and after that to create the quiz in one click
