Comment:

 I don't think redefining what words we use is going to help make the user
 experience better. Most users get the context of "admin" from the context
 of whether its a location or a person. "the admin approved me" vs "go to
 the admin". Administration is both too long to be practical in certain
 places and also would require users to accept that the thing they've
 called "the admin" is now "the administration" or "the administration
 area". The former could easily be misinterpreted as a person where it's
 used to describe a group of people.

 Ultimately, I think what should happen here if additional context is
 needed for translations is someone should refresh the patch and instead of
 changing the strings themselves, change the functions being used to output
 the strings from `_e` -> `_ex` and `__` to `_x` and utilize the context
 parameter to get the context desired. This is pretty much a perfect case
 of where those functions make sense to use.
