Hi I'm afraid that using context will not scale as well, but will give translators better chance to translate correctly (the gender doesn't have to be same in all languages).
You can see example here: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/po/cs.po#L9354 https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/po/cs.po#L9349 https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/po/cs.po#L9336 https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/po/cs.po#L9367 https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/po/cs.po#L9371 The source strings is always same here ("New"), but is translated differently based on gender of the thing it is about. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com Dne 25.11.2015 v 08:45 Emre Akkas napsal(a): > Hello Michal, > > Thanks for the response.
