There's another use case that I can think of:

  * Letting translators report about problems in original strings.
    Sometimes translators will spot a typo, be unable to translate
    ambiguous strings (missing comment), or be unable to do a meaningful
    translations because of how strings are split or formatted.


I think it's worthwhile to smooth the process as much as possible of
reporting such problems.
