About Context-Specific Translations
Some English terms have multiple meanings, and their translation depends on context. For example, in German, "address" is "Adresse" for a physical location but "Speicheradresse" in computer science. Likewise, "default" can be "Standard" in settings or "Vorgabe" in programming.
In Django, you can set a context for the translations using pgettext or pgettext_lazy:
address = models.CharField(
pgettext_lazy("Physical", "Address"), max_length=200,
)
Analogously you can set that in the template:
{% translate "Address" context "Physical" %}
