The meaning of the two strings in Comps

[Tiansworld]

Hi everyone,

When translate comps, I see two sentences "Packages mandatory for the
server product." and "Packages mandatory for the workstation product."

Are the "server" and "workstation" in these sentences  refer to
"Fedora
Server" and "Fedora Workstation" respectively?

I guess so, what's your opinion?

Yes, you are right. These belong to Fedora Workstation and Fedora Server
products.

In this case, it would be probably a good idea to spell it out
explicitly in the original string, as translators knows they have to
leave the products names intact.

Makes sense, but it would require to make one other string change after 
deadline. We'll have to wait after F24, and there is many places where 
the strings don't properly use fedora products names.

Note if someone did't know : we don't translate Fedora products names 
because of trademark :

Thanks.
If original strings are not easy/appropriate to change(For example, the
change may take more spaces which may exceed the margin of a dialog box
etc.). Then I think we can also take advantage of the comment feature of
the PO file to tell translators the context or ideas that the
writer/developer wants to express.
