Translator’s notes for readers

Steps

1. In the book’s Glossary tab, the “Translator’s notes” card lists the “Accepted terms to annotate”. A note is written for readers and is separate from the glossary’s internal description.
2. Write the “Reader-facing note” and choose its “Note placement”: “First occurrence of the term”, “Every occurrence of the term” or “Do not publish this note”. Click “Save the reader note”.
3. For drafts, click “Suggest cultural notes”. The job calls your provider and is billed; it suggests at most 200 notes, for accepted terms that have none. “Use this proposal as a draft” loads one into the form, and nothing is published until you save it.
4. Export and check the result: footnotes in EPUB 3, notes at the end of the chapter in text and Markdown, comments in Word.

Fictional example

Add a note to a fictional cultivation rank such as “Foundation Establishment”, place it at the first occurrence, then export a bilingual EPUB and read it as a footnote.
