Hello Michal,

Thanks for the response. To give you a bit of a background, the content is
strings for unit tests. The source tsv contains strings ids and the text.
We have been translating this file traditionally (CAT/TM etc.) and then
adding the necessary gender variations etc. as additional columns in Excel
(so the TM only contains the neutral form). Developers then consume this
input and generate variations of the unit test files for different forms if
additional columns exist.

Obviously this format is very hard to manage and is not scalable. I would
appreciate if you can elaborate on your suggestion of context.

Thanks,
Emre
