Title:
  Need context variants of i18n.tr and i18n.dtr

Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Sometimes you need to show a small string like "All" but you need to
  give it a context so translations can translate it differently than
  other "All" occurrences in the same domain.

  Example, in the phone-app we have two occurrences of "All", one is
  about Contacts, the other about Calls, so in Spanish you need the
  first "All" translated as "Todos" and the second one as "Todas"

  So you would write i18n.ctr("All Calls", "All") and i18n.ctr("All
  Contacts", "All") in the code so there would be the possibility of
  having different translations.

  So we basically need
