[translations] Translation context

[Erik Stielstra]

Please help to finalise the discussion about 'string context’ [1]. Several contexts have been added recently but we are still lacking a policy to determine the "right" context string. I’ve updated the issue summary of the issue [1] but it needs feedback before we can call it a decision.

Not all maintainers are familiar with ‘context’ or even with translation at all, some can’t decide which context to apply and are looking for more feedback. To help us translators to collaborate on getting contexts added, I’ve tagged my context issues with ‘translation context’. Please do tag you issues too and mention them on this mailing list.
