Differentiate between plural noun, verb and adjective Spam translations

[nbachiyski]

Gettext doesn't allow a term to be used both in plural and singular only context. In case it happens only the plural translation is usable.

This is the case wih Spam. We need its plural translation for Right Now and the singular only (as a verb or adjective) in several other places.

There seems to be "same text different context" collisions with these text as well:

Should I open a new ticket for "Comment", "Approved", "Awaiting Moderation" and "Post"?
They all have the same type of problem as "Spam".

more-collisions.diff fixes gettext msgid collisions including "Comment", "Approved", "Awaiting Moderation", "Post" and additionally "Spam" that spam-plural-verb-adjective-collision.diff does not cover.
I used _c() for __() and _e() context and simply added "|" to the end of each text in order to differentiate them from __ngettext() type context.

Still can't be translated in latest update (wp/pot) :

• wp-admin/edit-comments.php: "Comment" list header
• wp-admin/edit-comments.php "Spam" action (should be marked as verb)
• wp-admin/edit.php: "Post" list header

Also, Nikolay, while I understand "Spam|verb", "Spam|adjective" makes no sense to me. Wouldn't "Spam|noun" be a better fit?

Replying to xibe:

In Bulgarian I need to translate them differently. Also, it is not really a noun :-)

Here is updated patch -- it adds more meaningful contexts.
