Hi

Is it possible for translators to insert comments into a translated string, 
e.g. like "_: Comment\n" ?

The problem is that a translator may have a reason to translate a string into 
something which seems very different from the original string. Then, when a 
proof-reader later comes across the string, he may think that it's an error 
and correct it, making the translation inconsistent.

Comments would prevent this, but I've never seen a comment used...

Regards,
Lars
