32 their nodes. To enable this go to "My account" > Edit (e.g. user/1/edit)
33 and change the settings there, i.e., "Comment follow-up notification settings"
38 Notification templates are passed through t() before being added to the
39 email's body. Therefore, for you to translate them to other languates you
42 1. Enable the Locale module.
44 2. Choose a node in which you are not the auther and has comments and comment
45 on it. This will send an email to the author and other commenters.

48 admin/config/regional/translate/translate
50 4. Search for the template strings and add the translations.
55 Performance: If you notice that your site is very slow when submitting
56 new comments it is possible that the problem is with sending the mails.
57 One option is to use the Queue Mail module
58 http://drupal.org/project/queue_mail
63 Comment Notify is not built to work on sites where other notification related
64 modules are installed (modules like Actions, Notify, Subscriptions, and
65 Organic Groups are popular examples). If you install both Comment Notify and
66 one of these other mail modules on your site in addition to Comment Notify
67 it may send duplicate messages and/or have user interface elements that will
68 appear to be duplicates and confuse your site visitors.
70 The suggested configuration in these instances is to separate Comment Notify and
71 whatever other mail module you have installed. Common ways to separate them are
72 by content type or user permissions.
