Untranslatable variables

Hello Shirayuki

Thank you for the help you provide regarding translations!

I have a question about this diff. I understand the reason why you're removing detailed names, since they can be translated and then can break.

But, on the other hand, it is more comfortable to translate while you have some context. For instance, if an expression is added as a parameter, I prefer to have a more descriptive parameter.

What is your opinion on this?

Thank you!

Some translators translate variable names, so they should be untranslatable.

Yes, but some translators badly translate things because they have no idea of the context. Experience allows me to fix bad links, but I can't fix bad translations. :)
