Agree with Tapio - there is already a mechanism in place to inform the
translators, it's called comments in the msgid part of the po file.
I, too, have had to ask for clarification to avoid ambiguous translation, and
that was into Norwegian, which is practically identical to English, compared
to Finnish :-)
debian-installer is already using this much more than e.g. KDE, and I'm
grateful to those who have provided this guidance. So when you have the time,
please provide a little bit of information about the SUBST bits - thank you!
