 The translator comment for the string that turns Twenty Seventeen's Libre
 Franklin font on or off (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src
 /wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/functions.php#L230) is not visible in
 translate.wordpress.org

 Screen:

 themes/twentyseventeen/bg/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=3565021&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=46251052

 The comment is in the code reference and says:

 "Translators: If there are characters in your language that are not
 supported by Libre Franklin, translate this to 'off'. Do not translate
 into your own language."

 Even if the comment was visible, it would be of next to no help to
 translators without a reference to the link or further explanation.
 Translators are often neither designers nor developers. My suggestion here
 is to add a further line explaining which scripts are supported by the
 font or if they are two many either which are not or a link for
 translators to check whether their script is supported.
