## Issue
4796 - i18n: Allow support for string overloading (multiple contexts)
## Approach
- Minimal code and process change.
- Handle on a case-by-case basis when reported by translators.
- Split the affected key in the string json by appending the context.
- Translators need to be aware of the new format and not translate context itself. Code is added to detect bad translations and will revert to English.
Sample in json:
"About --[About section in Help Page]--": "About",
"About --[tab title in Channel Page]--": "About",
Sample in client code:
title={__('About --[About section in Help Page]--')}
- "--[ ]--" was chosen as it's unique enough (unlikely for real strings to use it) and hopefully not that distracting in the client code.
- In the key itself, spaces are allowed after the string (i.e. before '--[') for neatness. It will be trimmed by the system.
## First example
"About" is used in 3 places:
- Channel Page
- Help Page
- Footer (in Odysee branch)
For Russian, the word "About" is "O" and is usually not used standalone, but requires something behind it. A translator said so, and seems to be the case in other sites as well.
"O xxx"
"O yyy"
## Other languages
For other languages that are not impacted, they can just clone the same translation for each of the split keys, just like in English.
## Possible enhancement in Transifex
I see that Transifex's API includes a `context` entry. It might be possible to move the context-metadata there during the upload, so translators will never see the "--[]--" messiness (it will be shown as "Context: xxx" in the Transifex GUI).
I'm not sure how to test the Transifex side, so I did not investigate further.
