Django programs that use any other language as source instead of english
might find this useful.

We can use '--add-comments', '-c' as arguments of the makemessages command
parser to maintain consistence with xgettext.

Comment:

Thanks for this ticket, however comments for translators are already
supported (see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/i18n/translation/#comments-
for-translators docs]). Making an extraction keyword configurable was
discussed shortly in the #10004 (see
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10004#comment:12 comment]) and
we've decided that this isn't worth adding extra complexity.

Comment (by Claude Paroz):

Note you should be able to customize this rather easily by having your own
`makemessages` command in your project (inheriting the original command
and overwriting `xgettext_options`).
