I note that, for example, in metacity we have lines like this:
#: ../src/theme-parser.c:1540
#, c-format
msgid "No \"top\" attribute on element <%s>"
msgstr ""
#: ../src/theme-parser.c:1547
#, c-format
msgid "No \"bottom\" attribute on element <%s>"
msgstr ""
#: ../src/theme-parser.c:1554
#, c-f

I will comment 1) only.
In this specific case, this would be IMHO desirable, as "top",
"bottom" etc will not be translated (they're HTML attribute values, if
I understand correctly).
In the general case, this would work for Slovak. But be sure to give
context id to the variable values (i.e. "html
Thomas,
A good idea and a pet peeve of mine. I hope that you don't mind if I add
a few issyes::
A) multiple strings with very few changes: typically different case of
the first letter, or a full stop "." at the end of one of them.
B) Duplications: phonetic alphabet, GPL notice, etc
C) Markup:
Sorry for not being clear. For the specific case you described, I
meant words which shouldn't be translated. In the general case I meant
regular, fully translatable msgids where only one word changes. I hope
that makes it clear.
