Comments in POEditor are an indispensable collaboration feature — they allow you to easily communicate with other people working on the same translation project and to share valuable information regarding the content to be translated, including screenshots.

Visible across languages

Each term has its own comment section where users can add comments. To view the comments made on a string, click on the Comment button corresponding to it.

Useful to share screenshots

To share screenshots with your localization team, you can place a link to that image in the comment section. By default, you'll see a preview of the image, which you can click to enlarge.

Pinned comments are exported

You can pass essential information from one localization step to another during your localization workflow via pinned comments.

When you import a term to a project, the comments in your file for that term are imported to the project as pinned comments, if no other pinned comments are already present in the project for that particular term. If a term in the file has multiple comments, they are all imported to the localization project as a single comment.

On export, all the pinned comments are passed to the localization file if the chosen file format supports comments.

Receiving comment notifications

When someone adds a comment in a language, everyone who has access to that language is notified: the contributors assigned to the language, the admins and the project owner.

You can change the way they receive notifications on comments in Account Settings > Preferences > Notifications on Comments, choosing between being notified on every comment, daily or not at all.

How to see the newest comments

To see the most recently added comments in a localization project, access the translation page of any language in project and use the filter Order > Last commented. The terms will be listed in the reverse chronological order of their comments.
