So I know that _x() and it’s wrappers allow a developer to specify the context of a translated string. I’m pretty clear on “how” to use this function as well as “why” it should be used. I am wondering how this function is helpful to people who perform translations. Poedit does not seem to treat it any differently. Does use of this function aid in translation? Is there a way for translators to somehow see the context during the translation process?

When using other translation tools (other then poedit) like GlotPress you can see the context in which the string for translation is called upon.
