Translator Notes

Translator Notes are the means by which team members discuss and make decisions about the translation. Like chat software, individuals use notes to conduct a conversation. The Send/Receive feature collects the messages from team members' computers and assembles them into a single note, so that each person can view what others have written about the issue.
