Maybe I don't understand how Q_() works. How will it let the translator
provide different translations to the two strings when they are 100% the
same string? I thought the point was the provide a unique disamiguation
string to differentiate the two uses of the same word?

Yes, they both go into the Action column, but aren't they being used for
different things?
