Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19425

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    locale.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  Olen
 Updated by:   Olen
 Status:       patch

In many langages the same english string can (and should) be translated
differently, depending on context.
Here are two patches, one for locale.inc and one for locale.module that
allows the same string to be translated more than once.
It adds the correct path (filename) and line number of the translated
string as "location" instead of the url where it was first seen.
It will also allow you to download the .po-file for only one module at
the time.
These two improvements makes it a lot easier to find the correct
context for the translation.
It will use a "best effort" when finding translations, first trying to
match on file:line, then only file and at last, any translated string
with the same 'source'.
Be aware that the first few page loads after a new translation is added
are really slow, until the database has been updated with all the new
strings and locations.
Also note that this will lead to several "unused" strings in the
database.  I have an idea about some sort of timestamp to check when a
string was last used, and a cron job that removes old, unused strings,
but I think this could cause more problems than it fixes.
Anyway, here are the patches.  Let me know if you want them as
attachments instead.
