    initial v1  
    11I don't think redefining what words we use is going to help make the user experience better. Most users get the context of "admin" from the context of whether its a location or a person. "the admin approved me" vs "go to the admin". Administration is both too long to be practical in certain places and also would require users to accept that the thing they've called "the admin" is now "the administration" or "the administration area". The former could easily be misinterpreted as a person where it's used to describe a group of people.

    3 Ultimately, I think what should happen here if additional context is needed for translations is someone should refresh the patch and instead of changing the strings themselves, change the functions being used to output the strings from `_e` -> `_ex` and `__` to `_x` and utilize the context parameter to get the context desired. This is pretty much a perfect case of where those functions make sense to use.
