This is explained in the code as an i18m hint, but you have to tell your 
translation software to display the hint. In poedit, the command is 
"View > Show automatic comments window". 

So for "hh:mm:ss + NTSC drop frames", the comment says 

  " Name of time display format that shows time in hours, minutes,
     seconds and frames at NTSC TV drop-frame rate (used for American /
     Japanese TV, and very odd)"

What I think the "drop" and "non-drop" for NTSC means is that "non-drop"
is 29.97 feet per second. "Drop" allows for use on systems that only work
at 30.00 feet per seconds which means frames have to be dropped 
(removed) to keep synchronisation.

Again it is in the i18n hint:
"Name of time display format that shows time in samples (at the current project
sample rate)".
