Context-information is great for translation. In this example, 'volume' as 
hint was not particularly helpful to me, since this has at least two 
very different meanings in German. 'clipboard' on the other hand was clear 
anyway since the source-hint says something about clipboard-menu.

One type of content-information I'd appreciate a lot would be about the 
function/type of text this is: Is it e.g. a button lable, a menu entry, a 
help text, ...

This type of information I consider very helpfull in order to get 
consistent localizations.
