Hi all

 From QT4 help http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/QTranslator.html

"-The disambiguation - an optional string that helps disambiguate 
different uses of the same text in the same context."

Not sure if it would be possible in gambas, but in Qt4 itself and Qt4 
Designer (the native designer tool of Qt4 development suite) there is a 
property for every widget called *disambiguation* relative to its 
translation, which allow to distinguish between several meanings of the 
same string into different[?] contexts.

Wonder if it would be implemented in gambas some day... Benoit?
