Usually yeah, but when a PO file is under discussion only people that speak the language can contribute usefully anyway, so I think it's OK if that discussion is not in English.

FWIW mercurial uses märke, e.g.:

    msgid ""
    "The reserved name \"tip\" is a special tag that always identifies the\n"
    "most recent revision."
    msgstr ""
    "Det reserverade namnet \"tip\" är ett speciellt märke som alltid\n"
    "identifierar den senaste revisionen."

and:

    "denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must\n"
    "not contain the \":\" character."

    "anger den högsta revisionen på den grenen. Märkes- och grennamn kan inte\n"
    "innehålla tecknet \":\"."

and:

    msgid "replace existing tag"
    msgstr "ersätt existerande märke"

    msgid "make the tag local"
    msgstr "gör märket lokalt"

    msgid "remove a tag"
    msgstr "ta bort ett märke"

etc.
