Translation is like dates: hard to get right.

I like the Visual Studio approach. I usually resort to running the software I'm translating to get context. Sometimes it's very hard to get some of the text to show up.

I can only think of one way to give translators context: Comments, the exact same way you give other programmers context for your code.
