[josm-dev] translating in Launchpad

Hi,
I'm working on the translation of strings towards Dutch in launchpad. I
noticed that some strings have comments. With English being a language where
one spelling of a word is very often ambiguous, it would help a lot to know
what part of speech a given term is:
"Content" can be a noun or an adjective and of course the translation of
either is completely different.
This is an obvious one in two ways. Of course here the noun meaning is
wanted.
Very often with verbs there is ambiguity between the infinitive and the
present tense (3rd person excluded).
In other instances it's not clear whether it's an adjective or a past
participle.
Can I add to these comments somewhere myself? In order to disambiguate them?
Also, what if I find an error in the English string? Can I report that
somewhere or can I correct it myself directly?
Many thanks,
Jo (Polyglot)
