Couldn't Linguist simply offer to a way to easily "collapse" all 
contexts with the same translation string, so that you can easily edit 
the duplicates, and rather focus on the exceptions?

Terms of service can sometimes be hard to read/find. How about just 
sending Google an email, and ask? They might be happier if the tool also 
had a way to submit back the various translations back to their 
Translation Toolkit, which in return helps Google improve their 
tranlation engine? (Think of it as a super-large translation memory cache ;)
