> In summary, in my opinion, the message "Contact Owner" does not require
> explicit context (msgctxt). Rather, it requires the translator to closely
> follow the *positional context*, which means always keeping in sight
> messages above and below the current one, and their source references in
> relation to one another. This is the reason why PO extraction and
> processing tools carefully preserve the order of messages and provide
> source
> references, although neither is technically necessary.

> much more prominent than the messages before and after, to the effect that
> the translator can easily ignore them (that more problematic when updating
> a PO file instead of translating it from scratch), and to put source
> references in a peripheral part of the window (or even not show them at
> all).
