My question might sound stupid and maybe what I'm looking for is actually very easy to do, but I have been looking for a solution to my problem on this forum, in OmegaT's instructions, etc. but I couldn't find anything that really helped me.

Hello everyone,
My question might sound stupid and maybe what I'm looking for is actually very easy to do, but I have been looking for a solution to my problem on this forum, in OmegaT's instructions, etc. but I couldn't find anything that really helped me.

I would like to add some comments or notes to some of my translated segments in order for my client to be able to see those comments once he opens the final Word document (so that the notes that I have written in OmegaT appear like comments in the Word document).

Is that possible ? If so, how can I do ? I know how to write a note when I'm translating in the programm, but once I create the translated document, none of them appear in the Word doc.


Thank you a lot ▲ Collapse

Generally, OmegaT, when producing translated documents, cannot change source documents in any way except for replacing translatable content with translations when available (otherwise source text is reproduced). So, no way.
