Agreed (at least regarding "left", "right", "none"). But is it acceptable 
for others? Maybe just remove these from common_texts.cpp (they will appear 
in .po files then)? This would reduce the need for context info (needed 
only if there are two conflicting cases in one application), but of course 
it means that translator has to have running application or look at source 
to know in which context particular case is.
