As they are different things therefore, in an ideal world, they should be different fields. This isn't an ideal world so we need to think about what we do with the world we have. Short term options: 1. mobile.WP ignores the descriptions and automatically generates descriptions based on the statements. 2. Usage notes in descriptions are denoted by (brackets) or <!--HTML comment tags--> or whatever and m.WP learns to ignore them and use the rest of the description. Longer term options: 3. Have a separate (multilingual) field for usage notes and have the user interface display both the description and the usage notes in the drop down options 4. Where Qids or Pids are included in descriptions translate these into text links using the appropriate language label for that property or item. This should allow all usage notes to be incorporated into descriptions in a way which doesn't look strange when these are reused by m.WP.
