 		Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_translation_parser_plugin] method. To define the parsing and string extraction logic, override the [method parse_file] method in script.
 		Add the extracted strings to argument [code]msgids[/code] or [code]msgids_context_plural[/code] if context or plural is used.
+		When adding to [code]msgids_context_plural[/code], you must add the data using the format [code]["A", "B", "C"][/code], where [code]A[/code] represents the extracted string, [code]B[/code] represents the context, and [code]C[/code] represents the plural version of the extracted string. If you want to add only context but not plural, put [code]""[/code] for the plural slot. The idea is the same if you only want to add plural but not context. See the code below for concrete examples.
 		The extracted strings will be written into a POT file selected by user under "POT Generation" in "Localization" tab in "Project Settings" menu.
 		Below shows an example of a custom parser that extracts strings from a CSV file to write into a POT.

 		[b]Note:[/b] If you override parsing logic for standard script types (GDScript, C#, etc.), it would be better to load the [code]path[/code] argument using [method ResourceLoader.load]. This is because built-in scripts are loaded as [Resource] type, not [File] type.
