<p>Qt Linguist allows a translator to collect common phrases into a phrase book.
This plays a role of glossary lookup as opposed to translation memory.</p>

<p>There are no missing features in our support in the toolkit. The only slight
difference are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>We don’t focus on adding and removing items, just updating and reading</li>
<li>Comments are not properly escaped on reading, they might be on writing</li>
<li>An XML header is output on writing while it seems that no files in the wild
contain an XML header.</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><definition></span></tt> is aimed at users, the toolkits addnote feature focuses
on programmer, translators, etc comments while there is really only one
source of comments in a .qph. This causes duplication on the offline editor.</li>
