[Koha-devel] [Koha-translate] Homonym string help

[Marc Véron]

Hi Caroline

Yes, nasty problems with homonyms exist in other languages as well, e.g. 
in German.

We have two related Bugs:

Bug 11285 - Vocabulary disambiguation
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11285

Bug 15395 - Allow correct handling of plural translation
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15395

The latter allows to add context to a string; see comment 28 on Bug 
11285 by Julian Maurice:
"...allows to attach context to a string, so the same string can be 
translated in different ways, depending on the context."

A sustainable solution would be to move Bug 15395 forward. It's status 
is "Signed off".
