+ * Helper function to swap the text of a TranslationItem

+ * How it works:
+ *
+ * The function iterates through the target array (either the `original` or
+ * `translation` array from the TranslationItem), while also keeping a pointer
+ * to a current position in the child nodes from the actual DOM node that we
+ * are modifying. This pointer is moved forward after each item of the array
+ * is translated. If, at any given time, the pointer doesn't match the expected
+ * node that was supposed to be seen, it means that the original and translated
+ * contents have a different ordering, and thus we need to adjust that.
+ *
+ * A full example of the reordering process, swapping from Original to
+ * Translation:
+ *
+ * Original (en): <div>I <em>miss</em> <b>you</b></div>
+ *
+ * Translation (fr): <div><b>Tu</b> me <em>manques</em></div>
+ *
+ * Step 1:
+ * pointer points to firstChild of the DOM node, textnode "I "
+ * first item in item.translation is [object TranslationItem <b>]
+ *
+ * pointer does not match the expected element, <b>. So let's move <b> to the
+ * pointer position.
+ *
+ * Current state of the DOM:
+ * <div><b>you</b>I <em>miss</em> </div>
+ *
+ * Step 2:
+ * pointer moves forward to nextSibling, textnode "I " again.
+ * second item in item.translation is the string " me "
+ *
+ * pointer points to a text node, and we were expecting a text node. Match!
+ * just replace the text content.
+ *
+ * Current state of the DOM:
+ * <div><b>you</b> me <em>miss</em> </div>
+ *
+ * Step 3:
+ * pointer moves forward to nextSibling, <em>miss</em>
+ * third item in item.translation is [object TranslationItem <em>]
+ *
+ * pointer points to the expected node. Match! Nothing to do.
+ *
+ * Step 4:
+ * all items in this item.translation were transformed. The remaining
+ * text nodes are cleared to "", and domNode.normalize() removes them.
+ *
+ * Current state of the DOM:
+ * <div><b>you</b> me <em>miss</em></div>
+ *
+ * Further steps:
+ * After that, the function will visit the child items (from the visitStack),
+ * and the text inside the <b> and <em> nodes will be swapped as well,
+ * yielding the final result:
+ *
+ * <div><b>Tu</b> me <em>manques</em></div>
+ *
+ *
+ * @param item A TranslationItem object
+ * @param target A string that is either "translation"
+ * or "original".
