Translator Note is an annotation or comment users can attach to a segment. They can be used to communicate between stakeholders in the project. It is particularly suited for Translators & Reviewers to add a comment when they are unsure of the accuracy of the translation or they need more contextual or technical information to complete the best translation possible.

Having two separate fields for Memos and Translator notes gives users more flexibility to organise and communicate information regarding individual segments. Paired with the ability to sort the String list by Memo or Translator Note, Engineers, Translators, Reviewers and Project Managers alike can concentrate on strings needing particular attention.

Adding Translator Note

To apply a Translator Note, select the segment in the Workspace window and edit the Translator Note field in the Properties window.

Once a Translator Note is entered, an icon will be displayed in the string list under the Translator Note item column.

Reviewing the contents of the memo can be achieved in 3 ways:

1. Opening the Translator Note field in the Properties window. If the field is closed, a double asterisk ** will be visible indicating the presence of contents within, click the triangle to expand the Translator Note field.
   
   

2. Hover over the Translator Note icon in the string list to display the contents in a popup
   
   

3. Display the Translator Note column in the string list so Translator Note contents are always visible.
   Right-click the string list column header > Columns > Translator Note

To remove a Translator Note, delete the contents of the note in the Properties window. Alternatively, use the Revert option, right-click a segment and select Revert > Revert...
