In that case we now have:
+        m_id = i18nc("@label Unknown distribution name (e.g.
MyDistro)", "Unknown");
+        m_release = i18nc("@label Unknown distribution version (e.g.
1.0)", "Unknown");
+        m_codename = i18nc("@label Unknown distribution codename
(e.g. for Kubuntu this would be 'raring' or 'saucy')", "Unknown");
+        m_description = i18nc("@label Unknown distribution
description (this often is a combination of name and version, such as
'MyDistro 1.0'", "Unknown");

Worth considering.
