Yes you can. There is already quite much translator comments in the
Scheme files, e.g.
games/terrace.scm:
(define variation-names
(list
; Translators: this string is the name of a variant of this game. If
there is an established standard name for this game or game variant in your
locale, use that; otherwise you can translate this string freely or literally,
at your option.
(_"Terrace")
This comment "; Translators: ..." shows up in the po files for the
translators by the current tool chain.
