Comments in PO files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The PO file format supports three kinds of comments: reference, 
extracted-comments, and translator-comments. polib parses them, but Rosetta is 
currently only showing references (occurrences in polib).

According to the specification, the extracted-comment should be read-only, and 
translator-comment should be an editable field. For our purposes, we need at 
least extracted-comments to work, which could be as simple as this:

Follow up: I noticed that you're using javascript to hide occurrences if there 
are more than 3. There is a small problem with the code: in your CSS you made 
<code> elements blocks. But jQuery's show() sets display to inline using an 
element style, so the line breaks between the <code> elements are lost when you 
show them.
