Ah yes, I believe the issue you raised in that message (=E2=80=9Clego
translations=E2=80=9D) is not addressed by Florian=E2=80=99s approach.

However, the #_ form you propose doesn=E2=80=99t quite work either because
xgettext in its current form wouldn=E2=80=99t be able to extract it.

sirgazil proposed a solution that=E2=80=99s similar to format strings to ad=
dress
that:

Worth a try!

Thanks,
