Translator comments won't be extracted by xgettext unless they are on
the line *immediately preceding* the line with the gettext call.

So this will work:

        gok_do_some_fancy_stuff (argument1,
        /* Translators: Sample comment for translators about the msg. *
                                 _("This is a localized message."),
                                 argument3);

But this won't work:

        /* Translators: Sample comment for translators about the msg. *
        gok_do_some_fancy_stuff (argument1,
                                 _("This is a localized message."),
                                 argument3);

Judging from the gok source, this may very well be the problem.
