Description
In the wordpress.pot file, at least two messages contain a date code which translators should then change to reflect the date format for their language. Ideally, there should be a msgctxt comment that refers translators to the dates page on the PHP web site.
I could find two messages with date codes (perhaps there are more, but I couldn't find them now):
#: wp-admin/includes/schema.php:188 msgid "F j, Y g:i a" msgstr "" #: wp-includes/post-template.php:588 msgid "j F, Y @ G:i|revision date format" msgstr ""
These should be changed to something like this:
#: wp-admin/includes/schema.php:188 msgctxt "" "This represents a date format. Visit http://php.net/date for a " "detailled explanation of how to write the appropriate format for " "your language." msgid "F j, Y g:i a" msgstr "" #: wp-includes/post-template.php:588 msgctxt "" "This represents a date format. Visit http://php.net/date for a " "detailled explanation of how to write the appropriate format for " "your language." msgid "j F, Y @ G:i" msgstr ""
Thanks!

These should be clarified with comments, not with context. The context should be used only if a string has ambiguous meaning in different places in different languages.
