In case the msgstr is untranslated or fuzzy, doesnt the original msgid 
string show up on the interface? Hence if these strings are left blank 
the original msgid i.e. "some prefix|" would be used in the display, 
which beats the purpose of leaving out the prefix in the translation in 
the first place.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
