[issue1288056] pygettext: provide comments to help translators

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

It appears that I had mistaken comments in the source and comments in the pot/po files:

     /* TRANSLATORS: The placeholder indicates etc. */
     printf (_("Something.\n"));

These will be extracted by ‘xgettext’, leading to a .pot file that contains this:

     #. TRANSLATORS: The placeholder indicates etc.
     #: src/hello.c:178
     #, c-format
     msgid "Report bugs to <%s>.\n"
     msgstr ""
