Description

## Description

Example:

```
#. Context: answer to "where do you want to open the image?"
#: data/com.github.maoschanz.drawing.desktop.in src/ui/app-menus.ui
#: src/ui/shortcuts.ui src/ui/win-menus.ui src/window.py
msgid "New Window"
msgstr "新しいウィンドウ"
```
the context is valid for this version of the string in window.py, but NOT AT ALL for all the other ones!

**All** those contexts should be rewritten i think

## System

- App version: 0.7.0+

Research direction

Start by reviewing the translation references for "New Window" in data/com.github.maoschanz.drawing.desktop.in, src/ui/app-menus.ui, src/ui/shortcuts.ui, src/ui/win-menus.ui, and src/window.py. Compare each usage with its translation comment, then update the contexts so they accurately describe the corresponding menu or dialog; done when all affected contexts are valid.
