Good question. So it works (or I did something wrong), no tooltip.

No. I am asking about something like this:

text=hello {world}
polish translation=witaj

In this imaginary example translator omitted optional part in 
translation.

However such optional marking is not required (from tech.POV) to 
provide text which is translated into very long text and then 
shortened by translator.
