Comment (by nbachiyski):

 abelcheung,

 First, sorry for the late reply, your comment had slipped through all the
 trac flow somehow.

 I heartily agree that translators tend to ignore comments. So we made two
 things to mitigate that effect:
  * We already strip the comment part, this was our intention from the
 beginning (of course, the GNOME guys were doing that also :) )
  * The focus goes on the original string and even if the translators
 doesn't recognise that the second part is just a description they will
 have already given most of their attention to the right part of the
 string. That is why I prefer the description to go to the end.
