What Gui::Command::openCommand do and for what it argument is translated?

It seems to me that this method should print a translated comment to the console describing what the command will do. But this method does not do this.

IIRC, openCommand creates a new transaction (eventually closing the active one) in the undo/redo stack, and it uses the string as a name for the transaction.
Why do you think it should print something?

Why do you think it should print something?

Because this line is followed by lines that print the text of the python script into python console.

Then I don't understand why it should be translated that,if it is not used anywhere?

Gui::Command::openCommand(QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("Command", "Left-align cell"));

Otherwise, I don't understand why QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP is there and why these lines are presented in Crowdin.
Crowdin offers to translate these strings, but for what? Just for nothing.

Better ask than guess. The strings are visible in the undo stack that you can expand close to the Undo button.

But you guessed it was there for nothing.
Anyway, you're welcome (I guess next step is that I have to apologize for helping )
