+Translation comments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you would like to give translators hints about a translatable string, you
+can add a comment prefixed with the ``Translators`` keyword on the line
+preceding the string, e.g.::
+
+    def my_view(request):

+        output = ugettext("Welcome to my site.")
+
+The comment will appear in the resulting .po file and should also be
+displayed by most translation tools.
