I'm going to remember that, thanks.

The point is, it should be message what shouldn't be in the translation.
In short that comment should be

#. TRANSLATORS: You shouldn't translate "Bitzi|"

to avoid mistranslation, however if above you mentioned the '|' thing
is common sense, there is no need to do in this case.

I think so :-) then assuming you as the tireless person, I'll list the
mistranslatable part concerned with subject "Translator's report" and
"Excluding invalid i18n strings", here they are:

I know the auto generated file is out of control though, but there
might be some way.
