Feature: being able to subscribe/follow comments issue solution without commenting

Hello,

when i am not 100% sure about context of some string, but only very likely i know how it should be translated, i approve the string because the translation difference would be only cosmetic.

I am seeing someone added new comment(issue for lack of context), I would like to be able to first follow/subscribe to such comment/issue to receive e-mail notification once it is solved, approve the translation and once i receive notification about issue solution, i can get back to issue and verify it is indeed well translated.

I would not want to receive notification about each comment, but only solution of particular comment/issue and possibly remove subscription once visiting the page from e-mail or removed automatically by system upon sending e-mail.

This one should help. Project owner need to configure it. Can be combined with another webhooks.

The only option for you, I don’t think that this will be added as a main feature to out-of-the box functions because it looks like it’s too complicated for average user. Can be confusing.

I disagree. Adding a link/button to follow replies to a someone else’s comment, which is marked as issue, can be made the way it is not confusing and is important feature for the translator and a proofreader. Many times i am also confused about the meaning of some phrase and would like to receive email notification once the comment/issue is resolved to see the solution. But now i have to manually recheck the comments, sometimes forgetting and possibly adding wrong translation.

Hi,

You can ask your manager to mention you in the comments and this way you can receive notifications only when somebody mentioned you

Don’t forget to enable the Notifications > Mentions in the Account settings

This looks like a sub-optimal half-solution. Consider adding this feature request to your system to consider improving the Crowding for everyone, so people do not need to do sub-optimal workarounds. Instead any user should be able to click “I agree/+1” next to a someone else’s comment that is marked as issue and then sub-option “Notify me via e-mail once this is resolved”. Issue author is already notified, you can only enhance the notification to all subscribers.

Currently, it is possible to copy and share the URL to the Editor to see the comment linked for the exact string, kindly see the screenshot below:

This way you’ll be able to access the string with the comment/issue which manager can resolve once it is done and you should receive notifications that the issue is now resolved. I would suggest checking the documentation regarding the Reporting issues:

If this comment/issue is already submitted by someone else, i can not (or not enough conveniently) subscribe email notifications of a issue resolution. IMO you should improve this/add it to your ToDo list.

We’ve created the improvement task on the matter for out PM
