 Hello,

 To assist translators it would be nice to provide context for _post_states
 strings. This would help in cases such as #44130 where the case depends on
 the context of where the string appears in the UI.

 Speaking specifically of these strings;

 {{{
 1747                    $post_states['protected'] = __('Password
 protected');
 1749                    $post_states['private'] = __('Private');
 1752                            $post_states[] = __( 'Customization Draft'
 );
 1754                            $post_states['draft'] = __( 'Draft' );
 1757                    $post_states[] = __( 'Customization Draft' );
 1760                    $post_states['pending'] = _x('Pending', 'post
 status');
 1762                    $post_states['sticky'] = __('Sticky');
 1765                    $post_states['scheduled'] = __( 'Scheduled' );
 1770                            $post_states['page_on_front'] = __( 'Front
 Page' );
 1774                            $post_states['page_for_posts'] = __(
 'Posts Page' );
 1779                    $post_states['page_for_privacy_policy'] = __(
 'Privacy Policy Page' );
 }}}


 The one pending status does have context via _x so the rest could be done
 for consistency.

 As all items in the function are post stati could simply create a
 `$context = 'post_status';` variable to use throughout the entire
 function.
 $context = 'post_status';
 $post_states['protected'] = _x('Password protected', $context);

 All the best,
 Cheers
