 Aha, good solution! Thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately I haven't
 yet gotten set up to check things in, but I can confirm after testing in
 the Farsi Tor Browser that it looks correct.

 > As for adding comments for translators, translators are working in a
 web-based system that doesn't display comments or even the entity names.
 I don't know of a good way to communicate information to translators who
 use transifex.  :-(

 I was afraid of that. Hopefully the unicode escapes look scary enough that
 they leave them alone. ;)
