Ok, then I think we do need a separate Q_() like function, just in case... Otherwise, strings using "|" could get stripped in English.
And if possible, it might be a good idea to strip everything before "|" in the _translated_ string as well. Quite a large portion of GNOME translators are known to include the context and put it in translated text too, either because they don't check translation comment or they simply don't know it is a context.
