You need to mark the strings in the static initialiser using N_() only,
and then when you actually *use* the strings, use Q_() to do the
translation while stripping the context.
So something like this should work:
{
static const char *stuff[] = {
N_("Button label|I like strings"),
N_("Menu label|This is another string"),
NULL,
};
int i;
for(i = 0; stuff[i]; ++i)
printf("Translated string is: %s\n", Q_(stuff[i]));
}

When I mark strings simply with N_() the context information is not stripped away - in fact the original string in English gets shown *with* the context info - no translation gets shown even though the string is translated. When I mark the strings with Q_() or N_(Q_()) or Q_(N_()) I get such mistakes: gnomine.c:88: error: initializer element is not constant gnomine.c:88: error: (near initialization for ‘scorecats[0].name’) gnomine.c:90: error: initializer element is not constant gnomine.c:90: error: (near initialization for ‘scorecats[2].name’) gnomine.c:91: error: initializer element is not constant gnomine.c:91: error: (near initialization for ‘scorecats[3].name’) Any other ideas?

What is the proper way of markig translations of static array initializers
Hi guys, The docs: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-I18N.html state that N_() Marks a string for translation, gets replaced with the untranslated string at runtime. This is useful in situations where the translated strings can't be directly used, e.g. in string array initializers. How to add the addorning prefix in similar cases? (Like using Q_()).
