What's the difference between a context and a source?
When using Qt Linguist for translation work, you will see references to "contexts" and "sources."
A context is a business object, like the contact screen or the bill of materials screen.
A source is a specific string of text within a context. For example the “Bill of Materials” context contains 56 sources, including “Print”, “Save”, “Revision Date”, etc.
