possible to add comments or hints for translators?

[Pieter Claeys]

Dear community members,

I'd like to know whether it's possible to add hints for translators in sphinx. I did quite some searching but could not find this.

Is there some directive / annotation in the .rst format that will end up as a comment in .po file, associated with a msgId ?

It would be amazing, but AFAIK is not possible.

I add comments directed at the translator (called "extracted comments" in terms of gettext) manually. After I generate/update .po files, I add extracted comments to the messages that need some explanation (extracted comments begins with #,).

For example

#, File as a verb, not noun

msgid "File the issue, please"

msgstr ""
