I've been translating most of the strings in Calibre into Spanish. From time to time I check the new strings at launchpad.net and add translations. I would appreciate if it were possible to have some aids for translators, such as:
-Some indication of the context a string appears in. Is it a floating hint? is it a description of a command-line option? is it the text in a button? Some strings will appear in several contexts, it would be good to have a list of all of them. The best wording to use sometimes depends on this.
-For strings with &hotkeys, having a list of all other strings sharing dialogue box would be highly useful for avoiding conflicts.
At launchpad.net, all I can see is the source files that refer to the string, that's something, but often not enough, and I have to update Calibre and launch it to make sure I'm making the right choices... and I don't have it always available.
