Really, that's wild.

l10n it's not easy :)


Definitely not! *G* I think the right way to proceed is the same way as it
has been so far (or should have been anyway). So that developers make
context for the strings that are clearly ambiguous in english, e.g. "Load"
verb/noun type stuff. And then translators will have to request it for for
all other strings as needed.

An additional question, and the one I really meant to ask with my first
email, is whether you all think that the fact that we are now making a
"real/non-hack-like" way to make contexts will increase the need for
education about how and when to use them?
