The two terms that required the most context at the EuroPython sprint  
were "Triage" and "Dashboard" since they have a number of meanings  
depending on the context.

"Collection" also proved to be a bit of an issue for translators.

I am cc'ing Jonas Beckman (EuroPython Swedish translator) who has  
been a great help regarding l10n and context issues in Chandler to  
see if he has any additional
input.
