Is there any way to add comments to Source segments in an SDLXLIFF?

Alison Field

Hi all,

Someone has asked me this question. They'd like to be able to place a comment in the Source segment in order to point out a mistake to the client.

I can't think of a way to achieve this but wondered if anyone else knows of one?

Thanks!

    Hi Daniel, indeed it would be useful. As far as I'm aware, the only source comments that are possible are those that are imported from the source language file on project creation.

    I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to program the ability to add source comments at this late stage in the development of the wonderful product that is SDL Trados Studio... also, I don't think many people have expressed a desire for it.

    It is of course possible to copy and paste the source segment to a separate document to use later, or to add a comment to the target segment and export the comment to Excel as both source and target are quoted, as we currently do but it could save time if we could add a comment suggesting a correction to the source text, on the fly as we go through a file.

    Thanks for commenting!

    All the best,
