As I wrote, most translators are not programmers, and should not be
required to read the code. It is best if the message phrase speaks
for itself; if not, gettext lets you put the explanation of the
context into specially-formatted comments that are copied into the
message catalog next to the message itself. The translators will then
realize the context from those comments.

I was trying to give an example, so the question is: did I succeed to
explain how to resolve these issues? If not, please show me several
examples of the output that this code produces now, and I will modify
my counter-example accordingly.
