As a translator, I would like to be able to add a comment to a string. This comment should persist across copy-trans operations and such. Use case: When translating software UI it is occasionally necessary to make compromises, e.g. shortening a translation because otherwise it won't fit on a button. By the time the next iteration rolls around I will have forgotten whether or not this particular translation is a necessary compromise or just a bad translation. If I could look up the previous translator's comment I could avoid changing a translation for the worse.
Hi Hedda, I am about to create new RFE for adding comments to Source strings and I found this RFE that you have created in the past. It seems this RFE only covers the commenting to the translation string (Target) and the feature is already available in current Zanata via History button. So Can we close this ticket as the feature is already implemented unless you have other requirements? I can open new bug for the source comments to track our work and comment notification. Thanks, Michelle
Yes, my original request has already been implemented. :-) Feel free to close this BZ.
Thanks Hedda. Closing this bug since we already have this feature implemented.
