Context is just a string that allows you to differentiate between the
same string being used in different places of your application.
Sometimes these differing places need different translations in some
languages, hence the translator needs a context. For proper translation
appearing in the GUI there shouldn't be anything you need to do. lupdate
should extract the messages including the custom context into the .ts
file and there it'll appear for the translator to use.

Hmm, strange, works fine here with the attached three files (C++
though). Can you post a minimal example?

(To run the example put all three files into a directory, then do qmake;
make; lrelease testtrans.pro)
