Prev/Next for posts needs context in block library

[timse201]

Many locales can't use one word for different contexts. E.g. we Germans like to see "Nächster"/"Vorheriger" instead of "Weiter" which means more or less move forward or continue and is only used when it must be.

Currently it only has a comment.

I'm working on a patch for this. Will submit a PR shortly.

Adds context for translators to disambiguate 'Previous' and 'Next' in the image lightbox navigation.

Fixes #65004

Trac ticket:

## Use of AI Tools

Hi
Thank you for the suggestion and the PR.

This is already solved in Gutenberg, and no change is needed here.
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76967

This is because the change from Gutenberg will be merged in to WordPress in the next available release.
So the changes in the PR linked to this ticket would be overwritten.

Please correct me if this was not related to the lightbox, the ticket can always be reopened.
The next and previous post links already has translators context since 5 years.

Not for next/previous. And the second ones are with comments.

Are you able to provide more information?
And it still needs to be reported in the Gutenberg GitHub repository, not via Trac.

Here is where I am seeing the translators context for the next and previous post:

​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/src/wp-includes/blocks/post-navigation-link.php#L40

And it comes from the block here:
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-library/src/post-navigation-link/index.php#L40

The comment pagination does not use the ambiguous next/previous texts, they use:

$default_label    = __( 'Newer Comments' );

​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-library/src/comments-pagination-next/index.php#L27
and

$default_label    = __( 'Older Comments' );

​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-library/src/comments-pagination-previous/index.php#L20

Ah my fault. The first one is the array and the second and third Strings are now fixed :)
