I was looking yesterday but I couldn't find a common. I think your Q_() is fine.

I see GNU Make uses S_() internally, netcat uses PL_(). There seems to be no common convention for it like for gettext().

Personally I'd have chosen n_(), although confusing with our existing N_() we could add dn_(), dcn_() etc for dngettext() and dcngettext() later.

But I don't think it matters. Let's use your patch as-is.
