what is the meaning of underline that before parentheses?

I see the function in tint2 source code, but I don't know the underline before a parentheses's meaning? _("Theming tool for tint2 panel")

Code:

 gtk_show_about_dialog(g_window, "name", g_get_application_name( ),
                                                                "comments", _("Theming tool for tint2 panel"),
                                                                "version", VERSION_STRING,
                                                                "copyright", _("Copyright 2009 tint2 team\nTint2 License GNU GPL version 2\nTintwizard License GNU GPL version 3"),
                                                                "logo-icon-name", NULL, "authors", authors,
                                                                /* Translators: translate "translator-credits" as
                                                                        your name to have it appear in the credits in the "About"
                                                                        dialog */
                                                                "translator-credits", _("translator-credits"),
                                                                NULL);
