There is a reasonable advantage. Like Andrej pointed out in the first
place:
Instead of:
#: src/account.c:1537
msgid "Accounts List Get Column Name|G"
msgstr ""
The files would contain:
#: src/account.c:1537
msgctxt "Accounts List Get Column Name"
msgid "G"
msgstr ""
msgid "Accounts List Get Column Name|G" was out workaround for a
missing feature in gettext, which is now no longer missing: msgctxt.
It has been the case before where translators mistakenly added the
'|G' part to their translation. So the 'reasonable advantage' is
clear from where I'm standing.
with regards
Paul
