 The `wp-includes/post.php` file has a `create_initial_post_types()`
 function that registers initial post types & statuses.

 When registering **Privacy Statuses** (''Pending, Confirmed, Failed,
 Completed''), translation string use `_x()` context function.

 Below we have the `_wp_privacy_statuses()` function that returns privacy
 statuses. This function uses regular `__()` function without any context.

 The same 4 strings have 8 translation strings in the translate system
 bloating the total number of translation strings.

 We can merge those translation strings by using context functions inside
 `_wp_privacy_statuses()`.

 See the screenshot from the translation system and the attached patch.
