The gettext documentation does not properly mention the TRANSLATORS magic string that is used to give messages to translators.

I am almost sure It is not a magic string, It is a convention, because you have to pass "--add-comments=TRANSLATORS:" to xgettext in order to get them in the POT file (or only --add-comments).
I could get this bug report and patch the manual to clarify it if I am blessed by Bruno Haible, because already I have stealed him another bug report :)
