Bug Description

Regarding the following string:

Please re-enter
qml/Shell.qml:342

Is it possible to have it available for translation more than once?

It can refer to both a passphrase and a passcode in my language, which have different genders. So, I need to translate it as "Please re-enter him" or "Please re-enter her", depending pon what it refers to.

If this disambiguation isn't possible, maybe rephrase the source string to "Please re-enter passcode" and "Please re-enter passphrase"?

Still i guess adding context so translators know it's always about passphrase makes sense.
