Description Alexandre Franke 2015-02-11 12:29:57 UTC 
Find/replace dialog has both "_Find" and "F_ind", respectively for a button and a label. Please add context so that translator understand why the same string appears twice with different mnemonics.

Comment 2 Alexandre Franke 2015-02-11 13:25:33 UTC 
You are using comments here. I think you should use context. See https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Translation%20contexts

I don't know if it's possible in UI files though.
Comment 3 Sébastien Wilmet 2015-02-11 13:46:53 UTC 
AFAIK a context is useful only to distinguish the _same_ string at two different places used in a different context. Here the two strings are not the same.
Comment 4 Alexandre Franke 2015-02-11 14:08:47 UTC 
If you don't take into account the mnemonic, it's the same string. If the translator has to wonder "why do I have to translate this twice?" as is the case here, you should add context.

Comments are needed when the translator might wonder "what is the correct way to translate this?" or "what is the concept behind this string?".
