Thanks Alex and Daisy, I have several questions. * is there any documentation describing this behavior? * can we use this feature for per-language? We are now discussing to add a note per language. * can we have multiple comments per entry? If we need a long description, I would like to wrap lines. -- # this will be ignored #. Only this will be stored #. in description field #: this will be ignored #, this will be ignored msgid "RPM" msgstr "alex here" --- Akihiro 2016-03-02 7:00 GMT+09:00 Alex Eng <aeng@redhat.com>:
Daisy,
If you're importing po files, the only field it will populate is the "description" field which extract from comment in message. There's no "pos" related field in po file.
See the attached file.

Thank you for the information, Alex. I know Zanata allows to import glossaries from CSV and po files. I can see a sample of CSV file, with "description" and "pos" field[1]. Can you provide us a sample of po file, with "description" and "pos" field for an entry ?

Beyond this, the current format of PO file for the glossary lacks an essential feature as I described before. There is no way to describe the context. I wonder how the glossary help translations without the contextual information. As a result, Japanese team is forced to describe contextual information in translated strings. This is the reason we preferred to Wiki style glossary.
From the above observation, does it sound a good option to clear the whole entry of Zanata glossary of a specific language?
FYI, as of Zanata 3.8, we support same source string with unique "description" and "pos" field for each glossary entry. This will help translator with more context information and able to have similar string with different context.
