A simple way to help translators is to commit new strings as soon as possible, 
even if the code "around it" does not yet work or is not even there:

    // reserve future strings
    {
        (void) i18nc("Some hint what it is for", "New string that I need");
        (void) i18n("Another new string that I need later");
    }

This is also a good way to make sure your translators' hints/comments (the "c" 
part above) are sufficient for translation; the translator doesn't see the 
code, they only see the strings.
