Follow-up Comment #1, bug #66244 (group pspp):

Adding msgctxt seems to be more complicated than I first thought,
as the gettext() call is hard-coded in pivot_value_new_text():

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/tree/src/output/pivot-table.c#n2864

What we need is a new API with msgctxt parameter to be passed to
pgettext().

Otherwise, passing a pgettext()-translated string to
pivot_value_new_text() and letting gettext() fail and give back
the same string might work it out. But that looks ugly.

Making pivot_value_new_text() accept translated string instead
might make it more flexible, but that would cause huge changes
all over the project.

Another workaround is to choose different English terms for the
two contexts.
