<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thank you for working on it.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I do wonder if you or somebody could create a pot file with all the influenced strings.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I can create a new project in Transifex and upload this pot file.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Then translators could see these strings and the </font><tt><font size="2">context information</font></tt><font size="2" face="sans-serif"> from the translation UI.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">We can evaluate whether these context information could help the translation.</font><br>
