msgid "Other"

In slovak we can have 3 different gender (iná, iné, iný)

Please separete this string an add translation comment - https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Use%20comments

(Please please please provide a DESCRIPTIVE bug summary in future.)

Not sure if translation comments help at all here as it will still be only ONE string in the po file. Message context might be needed instead.

For now, it's ok, as there are no more "Other" strings, but it you add another "Other" string, with different genre (i.e. other account) you should add the context.

It's ok to close this bug?
