We’re almost there.  :-)

xgettext recognizes (synopsis "foo"), but it won’t catch the variables
defined above, because they’re not preceded by the ‘synopsis’ keyword or
anything.

That’s why I proposed in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/38436#2> to
arrange to keep the string wrapped in (synopsis …).

It’d be great if you could give it a spin, or I can make the change on
your behalf if you prefer.

Apologies for making something simple somewhat complicated!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
