Summary: Include code ISO for each item as msgctxt in the PO file 
Part: None


Initial Comment:
Hello,

Right now the PO files look like:

#. name for afr, af
msgid "Afrikaans"
msgstr "afrikaans"

It will be much better if the codes instead of been comments are included in as msgctxt, that is:

msgctxt "afr, af"
msgid "Afrikaans"
msgstr "afrikaans"

Two benefits:
* When used with translation memories will provide a context. For example, the currency "Gold" is a pretty standard name. This will allow to differentiate to which code they refer.
* PO is a poor format. This will allow to parse this information by scripts and conversion tools in a more structured way


Jordi,
