That seems clear to me. As long as we can input comments, and search by them, we don't need fuzzy marks remaining when we have translated a string. The comments give you more flexibility: you can come back to strings you'd like to refine, without compromising a working translation. For example: po:2 auto: ⑤ Tag: title Clytie Siddall: ⑥ Re-visit this item / Xem lại mục này Original: ⌘0 Booting the Installation System Việt: Khởi động hệ thống cài đặt It's a good working translation, so the file can be used. But I might want to refine it in the future, for example if the gradually- evolving technical vocabulary of my language changes (a continual process!). The comment makes it easy for me to find these strings. I simply search by that phrase. For reviews, it would be handy to be able simply to pass to the next page of strings, if you don't need to edit anything on the current page. Currently (unless I'm missing something), you need to edit one of the strings to change the page, optimally the last string. I found that particularly annoying while I was reviewing my translation of the Pootle interface, because at that stage I couldn't cause any more than 7 strings to be displayed, so had constantly to be "editing" strings simply to move to the next group of 7. If we have the number of strings displayed behaving properly, the next page (an arrow?) feature would be useful. from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
