How would the context change anything? String comparisons do a character-by-
character comparison. If any character is different, the string won't match. 
They have nothing to do with translations.

I have neither understood your objective nor your solution. I read your email 
three times and I can't get either.

But my suggestion is that you restrict yourself to exact string matches. Don't 
do partials. Either you have the complete translation to be matched or you 
don't.

Better yet, don't compare translations. Compare originals only.
