Which you also have to hunt down and change to

/* leave the word and colon in front of the translation */
_("math:Mean")+5

_("evil:Mean")+7

Or probably have the word and colon comment as a global comment and only
put comments if you really want a string with colon to be translated.

The +<num> can of course be change to some function that strips the first
part, and that are also built into a macro like _().
