Then maybe we need some way to annotate class names for translators. In my
projects I use contexts extensively, because sometimes translation can
depend on context.
Another use case is customized localization. For one of my projects the
customer maintains his own localization file to adapt program output to the
vocabulary that the users are accustomed to and to make it more verbose. So
for example in one dialog it translates "Cancel" to "Abort this transaction"
and in another to "Return to main window". ...I guess this customer would
love annotated contexts, but would hate to lose them completely.
