Description (last modified by )
Currently, catkeys house all the message info on one single line… This is really not ideal while glancing through the file contents, it is not readable. Ideally, it should be something like this:
Metadata
"Comment"
"Original string"
"Translation string"
When fuzzy string support would be added, the old string might be placed under Metadata. Basically like gettext.

True, but then this limits (actually ties) the translators for the Haiku app-ecosystem to some sort of utility, instead of being able to just open up a text editor and do changes…
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I don't think we should do this. Catkeys are not meant to be efficiently human-readable.
