Column arrangement

File: officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI.po
Locations:  
BibliographyCommands.xcu#..BibliographyCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno_Bib/Mapping.Label.value.text

Is this "column" a column of flowing text, or a table column (vertical  
set of cells), or possibly something else? Translation will be  
different, depending on which it is...

I know I asked before, but I repeat it: Is there a way to determine  
the location in the UI, or do I need to rely on the surrounding  
strings for context? The preceding entry, "Record", suggests that it  
is a table column, akin to a database field, and the bibliography  
context does support that, but those clues are not entirely conclusive.

We are talking about databases. If you have a structure like

Name   | LastName | Nationality
John   | Smith    | American
Andrea | Pescetti | Italian

then "column" in this context means the "Nationality", "Name", or 
"LastName".

There isn't a way. A KeyID build can help, but doesn't save you from the 
step "Where in the UI does this string appear?". It helps with 
disambiguation though.
