Description
Steps to reproduce
You can select the monthly recurrence option when adding a new event, e.g. the third Friday can be selected. The options come from: this file.
Expected behavior
The mentioned string should use a different context, to allow distinguishing between the two usages.
Actual behaviour
Currently the string has no context, so it results in the same row in PO file. In English there is no issue, as the sixtieth of a minute and ordinal two are both second, but in languages where these use different words, it's an issue that can't be solved with workarounds.
Tasks app version
0.17.1
Additional info
Screenshot for reference: in Hungarian it should say második instead of másodperc.

Research direction
Start by reading the recurrence option definitions in src/filters/recurrenceRuleFormat.js, especially the string referenced around line 19. Check how the two usages are extracted into PO files and separate their translation contexts. Done means translators can distinguish the ordinal wording from the time-unit wording, including the Hungarian case described in the issue.
