The translators' help text is displayed by the Message Translation Utility (MSGTRANS) when an output message is being translated. For more information on the MSGTRANS, refer to the Message Translation Utility (MSGTRANS) Operations Guide. The translators' help text can occur before or after an output message segment or an output message number. If translators' help text needs to appear with all output messages in the language, then the translators' help text is placed after the language name and before the left parenthesis.

Only one set of beginning and ending angle brackets are needed for each segment of translators' help text. However, beginning and ending quotation marks are required for each line if the help text continues over more than one line. The following is a multilined translators' help text:

<"This message should not be translated into another language."
 "However, it can be uppercased.">
