It's GNU gettext convention, originally:

 _ is a macro to gettext (ie. the translate function)

 N_ is a no-op macro, meaning that this message is not translated here
but is still marked as a translatable string, and tools such as xgettext
or yusei's script uses those markers to extract strings and produce .po
files.

Until today I misunderstood N_, and used it in ERP5 code where _ is
usually used.
