Title:
  The QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION string needs a translator comment

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've noticed there is a QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION string in the unity-2d
  template in Launchpad [1]. From looking at some translations, I assume
  that possible values there are LTR or RTL, but there is no explanation
  about that anywhere.

  Having a comment on the line of code above the one where
  QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION appears would allow intltool to automatically
  interpret it as a translator comment and show it in the template and
  in Launchpad.

  E.g.

  /* Translators: QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION refers to the direction of text: possible values are LTR or RTL */
  <code where QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION appears in and is marked for translation>

  With that kind of information translators would know what they are
  supposed to do with that string and avoid having invalid values there.
