This applies especially to the main site translations, but also for some of the games (especially the larger ones such as Race for the Galaxy which I recently finished translating). Despite being familiar with the site and the games I'm translating there's sometimes a lot of guess work as to what the strings are referring to (especially with short strings which probably are meant to be added to strings with variable in them).
Here are some examples from the main site which are yet to be translated to Swedish. Context for them are welcome (so I can translate), but I'm mostly including them here to (attempt to) illustrate how difficult it can be to guess what context a string belongs to:
The main site currently contains 2770 strings in total, that's a lot to keep track of. If a good (grammatically correct) and accurate (in regards to context) translation result is to be produced I think there needs to be some kind of context available for the strings.
I don't know if this is possible at all, but perhaps the translation interface could show some snippet of the page where the string is being used?

Which value? Which elements?Auto-update the value by counting some elements
What can be selected? Which script usage?Can be selected, even if no other sandbox interaction has been enabled (only for script usage)
Processed for what? In what way?Show tables being processed
