Shortly:
'Some PO files contain so-called "context information" to let
translators know whether, for instance, "home" means the user directory,
a key on the keyboard or the beginning of a line. Such context
information always begins with the letter combination "_:". The
important thing is: /These strings must not show up in the translations.
/In other words: Do /not/ translate or copy this stuff into the "msgstr"
part of the PO file. If you do, your whole file will not work anymore.'
