Research direction

The issue describes adding comments to the web translator but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the translation editor and how it stores and displays translation metadata. Done means translators can add comments and the comments support the language and word-breaking cases described.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Motivation

The current version of the web translator doesn't allow adding comments.

In some cases, comments are necessary, e.g., the target language doesn't have a similar word, and it must be replaced with a different one.

Another example is breakers, in which they are " " (spaces, or {ZWSP}, if it is going to be added to the game). Sometimes the English language uses {NBSP} to prevent breaking the string, but in other languages (e.g., zh_CN and zh_TW), there are no breakers, and breaking the string is acceptable.
