I don't like the idea of changing the string to be translated. We can
use a 'context' parameter as I said in other email some time ago,
like:
T('canto', context='my room') #translating from pt-BR to English
should be 'corner'
T('canto', context='music') #translating from pt-BR to English should be 'sing'
