Write a user comment

Write down what a passage means, who is speaking, and what will be hard to translate. Your comments are saved with the project and shown in Translate.

A comment is your own note about a section or verse, and it stays with the project.

Steps

In Understand, choose Section or Verse next to Comment by (1).
Click in the box under the section or verse (2) and type your comment.

A section in Understand: Comment by, with Section selected, is marked 1. Under the passage of Titus 1:1–3 is the empty comment box, marked 2, which asks What is this section saying? Who is speaking, to whom, and what will be hard to render?

Click outside the box. The comment is saved; watch the indicator at the top right.
Later, in Translate, click Comments in the helps panel to read it.

Good to know

To change a comment, edit the text and click outside again.
A saved comment can't be emptied: "A saved user comment cannot be emptied — user comments are permanent in this version." Change the text instead.
In Section view, if you wrote comments on single verses inside the section, tC4 suggests switching to Verse to see each one.
These comments are separate from check comments. See Write a check comment.
