What type of metadata can be added to Transifex and can it be added in my Source file?  
Transifex editor provides translator with some [metadata](https://docs.transifex.com/formats/introduction#metadata-and-file-formats) about strings.  
Developer notes, characters limit, and context can be added in a few file formats as described [here.](https://docs.transifex.com/formats/introduction#metadata-and-file-formats)

[String Instructions](https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#string-instruction-and-developer-notes), [tags](https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#section-tags) and [character limit](https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#character-limits) can be also added manually clicking on the ‘Edit Context’ button, or [via API.](https://docs.transifex.com/api/resource-strings)
