Previously in cases like this we'd dome something like:
_("placeholder account:P")+20
to represent this. Then we add a translator note that they only translate
the string to the right of the colon, and leave the left-hand side alone.

Hi Andreas,
Andreas Köhler schrieb:
tree-column-i18n.patch
this one switches the i18n from column headers in tree views from
N_() + gettext to just _(). It seems this is a leftover from old
structures that could not be defined via a function call (or
something like this).
both patches look good to me, although I don't have time to apply it
this week. I guess David will go ahead here...?
It also introduces the translatable strings "P" (placeholder) and
"Q" (quotes) used in toggle column headers.
Hm... of course these need to be translated as well. Thanks for
pointing this out.
Of course a single-letter translation string is pretty much bogus...
I guess this would be the first time to apply our potential
"disambiguating prefix" [1] to these translation strings. In this
case where we use such a disambiguating prefix directly in the source
code, this is achieved by simply using the macro Q_() instead of _()
[2].
But since we are not yet in string freeze, this patch can be applied
right away and I'll take care of the potential disambiguating prefix
during the next weeks.
Thank you for your contribution.
Christian
