These messages all recently ended up in the i18n robot for translators to
translate.
I suspect that they are comments in the zone.tab file and hence shouldn't
be translated. However, if that's the case, please remove those comments or
otherwise make sure that they aren't fetched by xgettext - having them in
the pot file makes unnecessary, unused work for translators, clutters up
the translations, and makes the translation statistics and tracking
inaccurate.

they are included in the GUI timezone selecter.  See

Comment 2 Christian Rose 2001-03-10 09:36:02 EST

What I want to know is if the messages mentioned in *this* report are displayed
to the end user. If not, they should be removed.
I really doubt that messages like
"# This file contains a table with the following columns:"
are displayed in the GUI installer?

I don't know how those got in anaconda.pot - when I ran make update-po they all
fell out.
