[Nano-devel] comments for translators

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi,

Looking through the code I was surprised to see that there are 
comments for translators included in there, but there are none in 
nano.pot.  The gettext documentation does not make this clear, but 
a little experimentation shows that this "Translation:" thing has 
to be in all uppercase in order to be recognized.  The line also 
has to be placed before the gettextization of the string itself, 
not before the use of a constant to which the string was assigned.  
And the comment containing the translator tag must end on the line 
containing the string, or on the line before it, but not any 
further back.  Attached patch makes the required changes.

After applying the patch, run 'make dist' and have a look at the new 
nano.pot.

Regards,

Benno
