Yes, please!  I was just about to ask about that.  I could not believe
that in July 2020 people were ignoring I18N, especially the fact that
I18N workers are mostly language specialists, not programmers, and are
quite dependent on programmers and UI/UX workers following "the usual
conventions".

Yes, mostly the message catalogs are produced by software that can be
taught to understand other conventions.  But often translators *do*
need to read source to get context for the (usually) English "key"
into the message catalogs.
