[josm-dev] Trouble translating JOSM: Same strings used in different places

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

I've been translating JOSM into Icelandic which is mostly going fine,
but I'm having some trouble where the same strings e.g. "Edit" are
used in entirely different contexts in the application. This might be
OK in some languages but not in others.

Reading the gettext-commons tutorial I don't see a way around this,
except perhaps the trc() function. Can it be (ab)used to solve this
problem?:
