I've no idea what this comments means, but just in case: no, it doesn't replace message documentation for translators.

"Is there an official translation of the word "claim" in other languages? Is it possible to have an explanation of the word "novalue" and "somevalue"? Thanks"
The official translation is in the glossary (http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary) and from that "Claim (also called fact or statement, although this is not entirely correct) is the part of a statement without the references."

There are rather extensive template generated docs (qqq messages) for these system messages.

I suspect that translating from English made early choices of terminology quite confusing, a lot of care will be needed to revise decisions and ensure consistency. The glossary probably needs an appendix on how to interpret and translate the glossary...
