If the meaning of any option is unclear, just ask here.

Yes. Put them at the top of the automatic comments, e.g.

# I don't know if "Strichzeichnung" or "Schwarz/Weiss" is the better
# translation
#: .tmp/artec_eplus48u.c:153 .tmp/gt68xx.c:118 .tmp/mustek.c:125
#: .tmp/mustek.c:130 .tmp/mustek_usb.c:270 .tmp/sceptre.h:297
#: .tmp/snapscan.c:160 .tmp/umax.c:185 .tmp/umax_pp.c:135
msgid "Lineart"
msgstr "Strichzeichnung"

Manual comments won't be stripped. Manual comments are those that
don'r have #, or #: but plain # comment signs.

Bye,
