I think it can have more features, besides these. For example, I use at work a proprietary tool, which has a really handy glossary-handling: it lists the original strings in a pane, under them the known translations, which have each a letter assigned to them. Then pressing ctrl+letter pastes the possible translation at the cursor position. Compared to simple text editors, this feature alone boosts my productivity by a lot, and I think we need such a functionality. You can find a screenshot of this tool here: http://www.vegadata.cz/images/TMpict.jpg > I think a treeview could do that.

Both KBabel and Poedit can read existing po files in their internal database, but I don't know how they implement this.

Showing it in the same field as the comment makes more sense, especially because in most of the cases, there is simply no translator comment at all.
