Description

In translate.wordpress.org, all strings in JavaScript files (ex. Gutenberg resources) are reported as locating in index.js without comments.

For example, string "Add block at position %1$d, Level %2$d" located in appender.js has useful comment to translators:

	const appenderPositionDescription = sprintf(
		/* translators: 1: The numerical position of the block that will be inserted. 2: The level of nesting for the block that will be inserted. */
		__( 'Add block at position %1$d, Level %2$d' ),
		position,
		level
	);

But, in translate.wordpress.org, this string has following meta information only without comments.

    build/block-editor/index.js:11

When translator encounter this string, he/she have to search whole source code to find the string and above comments to know the meaning of %1$d and %2$d.
