I know that, and I'm using comments for myself broadly while translating :)

I know how I could translate it, the problem is that in some cases
there is the _same_ entry for different translation cases, even for
those which doesn't need translation at all! (Recent example -
'revision', used as keyword).

The best solution would be the different entries for different use
cases. Use case will be indicated with comments in .xml source. I
think of using different word casing as a workaround, but I'll look
for more robust solution.
