Bug Description

The next version of gettext includes support for adding a context string to disambiguate message IDs. In programs, this is represented as:
  pgettext("context string", "message id")

In the po file, this comes out as:
  msgctxt "context string"
  msgid "message id"
  msgstr "translation of message id"

This will most likely require some Rosetta changes to handle correctly.

It isn't particularly high priority though since there has been no gettext release with this feature yet, let alone a glibc release with pgettext() support.
