English term or phrase: rewriting
Dear Friends! Please help me about the following.

Text 1 is translation from Russian (by other translator). Text 2 is my rewriting of it.

Please confirm that text 2 is indeed better and please advise if it conveys all of the original meaning.

Thank you!

===== 1=====
The most often variant will be the pass to the 4c point with the main template loading. The main template provides the integrity of the site design assumes the formation of the main menu of all levels and saves the programmers from the necessity to take care of the general site navigation attracting the module developer’s attention to the functions of the part being developed.

=== 2===
Most often a user will go to point 4c and the main template will be loaded. The main template ensures consistency of the site design and generates the main menu at all levels. So, a programmer doesn't need to worry about general site navigation and this allows her/him to concentrate on the functions of the module s/he is developing.

Explanation:
Your rewording does a nice job of making sense out of this rather literal and unnatural translation. My only suggestion would be to reword the second sentence as

This frees the programmer from the need to look after general site navigation and allows him or her to concentrate on the functions of the module being developed.

Explanation:
The most frequent variant will involve the user going to point 4c.

I'm afraid I'd have to take your word for it regarding "with the main template loading", but your version does at least make sense - which is more than can be said for Version 1!

And I think that the remainder of Version 2 is a vast improvement!
