I did compile and try it, so I know where and how they are used. I wrote
because those short strings seem to be a bit "fragile". You might one
day use any of them in a different context *without* noticing that they
should not be the same in other languages.

OK, that's not the case now, so maybe I shouldn't have come up with this.
I'm sorry about that. But you know Murphy: If anything can go wrong...
;-) (Looks like it always troubles me when I see short msgids in PO
files. Sometimes I'm not very fond of the idea to use messages as IDs.)

(I don't think you need a well-thought context string, just something to
make msgids unique. For example, "time|Free", "time|Busy",
"appointment|Start", "appointment|End" etc. But again, they are still
unique now as they are, I have to admit.)
 

Thanks for you answer,
