Hi
I tried to add a translator comment as documented in
https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments
but the comment does not show up in the po file after using
intltool-update. Patch attached. Any thoughts?
#: ../src/org.gnome.Terminal.gschema.xml.h:1
msgctxt "visible-name"
msgid "'Unnamed'"
msgstr "'Unbenannt'"
