Don't we have some Yes/No things in locales, by the way ?
There are Yes/No translations, and I originally just used those; however, I then realized that this wasn't appropriate for some languages (for instance, Chinese). Having a separate translation for the key was the simplest way I could see to work around this problem. I also have no idea how to insert comments into the POT.
