Translators working on po files will likely need to know what the
@@noun and @@verb parts are in the original message text, and why
these are different messages in the po files.

@ -88,6 +88,15 @@ matching msgid lines. A few tips:
you would typically want to have corresponding ones in the string on
your msgstr line.
- Some messages contain an optional context indicator at the end,
for example "@@noun" or "@@verb". This indicator allows the
software to select the correct translation depending upon the use.
The indicator is not actually part of the message and will not
be shown to the end-user.
If your language does not require a different translation you
will still need to translate both messages.
- Often the messages being translated are format strings given to
"printf()"-like functions. Make sure "%s", "%d", and "%%" in your
translated messages match the original.
