Is detail information on strings available in Zanata online editor?

[Tiansworld]

Hello everyone,

Recently I am updating the translation of anaconda on fedora.zanata.org. I
can't find any detail information about the string I'm translating. For
example, where does the string locate. This feature is called *occurrences*
in transifex. It tells the translator where the string comes from, in which
line, in which file.

This is really helpful when translators aren't sure about how to translate
the string. Then they can look up it in the original file to see the
context around it.

So could anyone tell me does Zanata have this feature? If it doesn't have,
would the Zanata project consider to implement it?

This message is CCed to [e-mail] too.

When you click the message number (a # followed by a number in the English
box) some information appear and one of the fields seems to be just what
you are looking for. But it's empty.

I've had no luck with the alpha editor either.

You can still get the .po and find the comments with the locations there,
but then your workflow is broken and you have to be changing from zanata to
the file and back.

Hi Maximo,

This feature is in the upcoming release: Zanata 3.8.0.

It will display information in pot files under the tag

"#:" - source ref
"#." - context
"#," - flags

(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1243672) - Source refs
does not shows up in editor

Eventually this will be even better in the alpha editor. We are planning on
including a whole panel for source/translation details and comments.

That's true, empty.
So we'd better wait for the new release.
