 better context.

 need for detailed translators comment, because it does not mean only
 "active plugin", but context is "editing file in plugin editor for active
 plugin and active word in brackets has to be in the end of sentence". This
 is not a good approach...

 What active? the plugin is active.

 This is why we used the `_x()` function.

 We added content to the string.

 The code is `_x( '(active)', 'plugin' );`
