According to Micah Cowan on 10/25/2007 10:13 AM:
> +    /* TRANSLATORS: Servname and ai_socktype are formal parameter names,
> +       and should not be translated. */
>      { EAI_SERVICE, N_("Servname not supported for ai_socktype") },

Would it perhaps be worth rendering this as:

_("`Servname' not supported for `ai_socktype'")

further emphasizing the literalness of the parameter names?
