Ok, I left only these which are obvious, and U - for units.
For further extensions (I.e declination, plural forms)
declination = german "Deklination" (my dictionary is poor)


Please comment below if you have any question:

   s - the string which will be translated
   S - the string which will stay unchanged
   U - unit type (the argument is Unit_Type_id) which will be       
replaced with its translated name.
   L - There are 2 arg: (x, y) which
       will be replaced with       get_location_str_in(x, y)
   A - There are 2 arg: (x, y) which
       will be replaced with       get_location_str_at(x, y)
   P - There are 3 args (string1, string2, int n) which
       will be replaced with PL_(string1, string2, n)
       This is a recursive directive.
   M - the Nation_Type_id, which will be replaced with get_nation_name
   N - the Nation_Type_id, which will be replaced with 
get_nation_name_plural
       N & M can be used interchangeably by translator
   I - struct fims_impr, which you can get from get_fims_impr()
       This "sends" get_impr_name_ex() to the client
   X - future_tech_no & Tech_type_id will be replaced with 
get_tech_name() or       "Future Tech. %d"
   Y - year will be replaced with textyear()
   F - flag, will be replaced with get_units_with_flag_string
   % - for '%'
