Not %s?


Mmmm. Interesting. Perhaps you could consider a small readme for 
translators in the po directory? There are things translators should know 
about the files they translate, but many are just know-how that only the 
last translator konws, and lost on the next round.

Best thing would be for the po format to have a "file comment" field at 
the beginning.

Perhpaps, a hack:

msgid "AAAAAAA-sorting-hack - file readme for translator"
msgstr "not used"
