If your answer had been "it's easy right now to download them", I would make this change right now so we can fix the problems in 1.1. Given that it's not at all easy, we'll need to be a bit more gentle with the translators in general. So I think trying to get this done in the 1.2 timeframe, making the switch to using contexts in the few places we need them before 1.2-alpha, would be reasonable. We have enough to do in the next month for 1.1 without adding this to the plate. > > > > > My reason for asking is that I would like to use a feature that was only > > introduced in that version to provide context for messages where the > > same string appears in two different places and should be translated > > differently. > > > > [...] > > > > I'm not 100% sure if we can use this yet, since it's not supported by > > Python's gettext modules, so I need to fake out the gettext layer, but I > > think it's possible.

I was going to introduce something similar into Django's translation utilities (also in pure Python). I think this is achievable. Thanks for the answer here. It helps flesh out my cunning plan a bit more. Let's put this on the list for 1.2, then.
