Idea Delivered Partially

Show active segment comments automatically and with readable font size

Sometimes my source file contains segment comments and I need to see the current segment comment to translate the segment correctly. But comments in the "Comments" window ("Information" tab) are not synchronized with the segments in the translation window and I have to scroll to the current comment manually—for every segment!

And the font in the "Comments" window — I can hardly see the comment and no way to zoom it!

It would be good to have some different options for current comment display: for example, under the current segment or as an additional column.

    Hi - we have added comment font resizing, it is currently linked to the Editor font size - so if you customize the font under File - Options - Editor - Font Adaptation, this will also change the comment size:

    Screenshot of the 'Add Comment' dialog box in Trados Studio. It shows options for Scope set to 'Current Segment', Severity level set to 'For your information', and a text field with 'This is a comment'.
    Down the line soon, we want to make this easier and have a separate comment font size so it is easier to change. I agree linking it to the general Editor font size settings was not an optimum implementation - but at least it works.

    There also used to be a plug-in https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/152 that helped with viewing comments more effectively, seems it has not (yet?) been adapted to Studio 2024.
