The Ubuntu Desktop Team discussed this bug today. It is too late in
Ubuntu 17.10's release cycle to make this change since it will break
translations for these strings for all languages, and many of those
languages would end up untranslated for 17.10.
We can make this change early in 18.04's release cycle. I apologize for
the inconvenience.

Title:
[Translation] "Left" and "Right" must be translated differently in
different contexts

Bug description:
In 17.10 artful in GNOME Control Center, there are two places where
words "Left" and "Right" are encountered: the Mouse settings and the
Dock settings. Both of the words have only one item to translate in
Rosetta with indication that they are located in two different places
in the sources:
"Located in ../panels/mouse/gnome-mouse-properties.ui.h:4
../panels/ubuntu/cc-ubuntu-panel.c:417"
"Located in ../panels/mouse/gnome-mouse-properties.ui.h:5
../panels/ubuntu/cc-ubuntu-panel.c:419"
When translating in Russian, the words "Left" and "Right" must be translated
differently in these two places. One translation for both contexts leads to
inconsistent and ridiculous result.
I can guess that this is also valid for some other languages, not only
Russian.
Please make two independent translations in Rosetta for "Left" and
"Right" in these two different contexts.
