Yes, I agree. A comment can be added to the POT file warning translators not to change already translated URLs, which translators hopefully would adhere to (?). Since we would use a custom xgettext, it is trivial to add such a comment to the POT. When msginit creates a PO file from the POT file, the comment is kept. Nonetheless, I wonder how important translated URLs are. Untranslated URLs are valid for every language. Invisible to the user, guix.gnu.org responds with the right translation. The disadvantage is that users who do not speak English do not know directly what to expect from the URL until they visit it. Regards, Florian
