Re: String addition to gtk+

[Takao Fujiwara - Tokyo S/W Center <Takao Fujiwara Sun COM>]

Thinking about this, my suggestion is the comment line rather than msgctxt.

#. Translators: "Miscellaneous" is the label for a button, that opens
#. up an extra panel of settings in a print dialog.
#: ../modules/printbackends/cups/gtkprintbackendcups.c:2194
msgid "Miscellaneous"
msgstr ""
