Error with msgctxt?

    Hey,
    I created a .pot with Loco Translate and got this issue:

    When a msgctxt is used for a translation like:

    msgctxt "Código Postal"
msgid "ZIP"
msgstr ""

    Then the translation __(‘ZIP’, ‘mydomain’) does not return the translation.
    I had a look into the translation object and it did not have the entry “ZIP”, but it had the entry “Código PostalZIP”, that´s why “ZIP” was not found.

    Do you have an idea where this error comes from?

    Thanks

    Looks to me like someone opened the POT file in the editor – thinking it was a translation file – and entered a translation into the context field by mistake.

    Loco Translate won’t (and can’t) extract a translation into the msgctxt field from the code you’ve shown. If you sync your POT back to the source code, you should see this mistake disappear.

    Ok, thanks very much for your quick reply, that´s be a possibility I didn´t even think of.
