I'd say you can't do that.

File a ticket or contact developers so the strings are different in some way or
invent a transaltion suitable for both menus.

Not sure of gettext internals exactly but when in the source a multiple strings
are marked _("...") this will produce only 1 entry in the POT file.


I understand that the German translation is dependent on context in this
particular case but that may not be the case with most of the translations so I
doubt that you'll find a nice solution to your problem.

Alexander.
