Hehe, those prefixes are for two things at the same time: 1) Make sure that the translator knows what is "special" about this string (like it is used for a female unit). 2) Make sure that a 2nd, different string *can* be used at all. If there was the string "General" for the unit name as well as the Menu entry, at least in the german translation this would make one of the two places have a wrong translation, since in gettext the string would only appear once. That is why the preferences string is "Prefs Section^General". So yeah, those "comments in string" blocks *do* make sense and something in the strings itself is required to have them differ from each other.
