It is also possible to have entries with a context specifier. They look like this:
white-space # translator-comments #. extracted-comments #: reference... #, flag... #| msgctxt previous-context #| msgid previous-untranslated-string msgctxt context msgid untranslated-string msgstr translated-string
The context serves to disambiguate messages with the same
untranslated-string. It is possible to have several entries with
the same untranslated-string in a PO file, provided that they each
have a different context. Note that an empty context string
and an absent msgctxt line do not mean the same thing.
