Hi,

I'm translating WireGuard apps into Japanese.
I have a question about operation in Crowdin.

When translate, we translators need to clarify about original string's
context or meaning. In that situation, which option is preferred?

- send ML about question.
- in Crowdin, use comment.
- in Crowdin, use comment and flag "Issue".
- in Crowdin, use Discussion.

# I had used second option, but never mention to anyone.
# Should I had to mention to ?

Kind regards,
Eiji Tanioka

The second option is perfectly fine, though you'll have better luck if you
mention me or Jason since that will ensure Crowdin does not swallow up the
notifications.

Hey Eiji,

CC'ing Harsh, Simon, and Roopesh, as they might have different
opinions on what they prefer.

From my end, any form of communication is fine, whether its on Crowdin
or on the mailing list, because lowering the barrier for people to
volunteer their hours translating strings for us seems like a good
thing.

I suppose one advantage of Crowdin is that the discussions are placed
beside the translations, which makes it easy for future people to
correlate the two, and most discussions tend to be clarifications on
particular strings, rather than interesting technical conversation
that would benefit from the archiving afforded by mailing lists.

AFAICT, the "issue" flag sends us an email notification, which is a
good thing if you need an answer.

Jason

Same goes for me, I'll take whatever's the easiest route for translators
and work with it.

Harsh, Jason,
Thank you for quick response!

I understood.
When I use comments is when I need a response, so I will try to use
the mention or issue flag.
