Something calls "_()" on the string later in the process.  For example,
you might want to delay the translation until later in the process.
I hope the following (made-up) example helps clear it up for you:

void foo(const char*msg)
{
  ...
  display_string(_(msg));
  ...
}

void bar(int state)
{
  ...
  switch (state) {
  case STATE_1:
    display_string(N_("In State 1");
    break;
  case STATE_2:
    display_string(N_("In State 2");
    break;
  ...
  }
  ...
}
