msgctxt is a formal context field, e.g.

msgctxt "This is a button: keep it short"
msgid "Convert"
msgstr "Đổi"

It's an innovation we've needed badly for a long time, but until  
enough people and servers are running gettext 0.15, we can't use it. :(

Bruno, where does one find info on msgctxt in gettext-0.15? "msgctxt  
--help" doesn't respond.
