 * What should I do to insert a newline in a string?
  * If you want to insert a newline in a string you need to include the pair of 
characters "\n". You can use normal
 newlines as you wish as they don't affect the translation.
+* What should I do with strings like "Prefs section^General"?
+ * There are ambiguous strings which should be translated in a different way 
depending on where
+they appear. For example, we have "General" in the preferences as "General 
preferences" and we can
+also have "a General". This strings can have different translations for a 
given language, so we use
+"context" to solve this. The prefix only tries to give a hint about the 
string, and should be not translated.
 * Who can I ask for further information?
  * You can ask Cedric, Yann or Isaac in IRC (irc.freenode.net, #wesnoth), if 
you don't like IRC,
 send a mail to isaac at sindominio dot net.
