# but gettext while parsing the file detects ?vcard:Unknown as a whole string. will be stripped off, if it's present.
# translator can either put the ?vcard: part or no (easier for him or her to no)
# nothing fails Here is the construction to use:
s = _(s) Q_("?vcard:Unknown")
if s[0] == '?':
s = s[s.find(':')+1:] # remove ?abc: part Everything between ? and : - is the qualifier to convey the context
return s to the translators. Everything after : - is the text itself.
