Collaborating with your team (Comments, Mentions & Notifications)
There are several ways to communicate live and asynchronously with your teammates within Redokun. Our collaboration tools help you cut down on in-person meetings, avoid emails, equip remote teammates with info around the clock, focus on the issue with context, and meet deadlines.
- Brief, notes and instructions (1): Who translates the content? Who reviews it? What are the steps to complete the project? Use this section to give general indications to the team.
- Translation block comments (2): Not sure about a translation? Do you need to discuss terminology? You can leave a comment next to the translation and ask for help.
- Mentions: When you want to get another person to look at something, you can mention them anywhere inside the comments.
