Hello,
I think that the developers may always see the .pot file, but it is a very
good idea just to point the idea that the things that show up there are not
the same as the ones in the code.

It would be great to have some screenshots maybe in the doc, if not, I'm
ready to blog/twitter about it.

Cheers,
Marta

so some developer talked to me and said that he doesn&#39;t see what<br>
translators see because everything is apparent to him by reading the<br>
source code. So I thought that it could perhaps be useful to have a<br>
page on TechBase that describes the pieces of information that are<br>
extracted from messages and that are shown to translators.<br>
<br>
A draft of that is there:<br>
<a href="http://techbase.kde.org/User:Lliehu/What_Translators_See" \
target="_blank">http://techbase.kde.org/User:Lliehu/What_Translators_See</a><br>
 <br>
I can move it to somewhere sane if we think it&#39;s useful. I&#39;m not \
that<br> sure if it is, because, as Luigi already said when I talked to \
him<br> about this, the developers can always just look at the template \
(pot)<br> files.<br>
<br>
Though would it then be useful to mention that as a tip for developers<br>
somewhere?<br>
