An informal irc discussion came to the following conclusion:

a) include support for pgettext: do it if pootle does support it well 
and is tested

b) which string to use to eject a device: make a poll (maybe using 
'eject'/'expulsar' (used in GNOME) makes more sense in english, Sascha 
pointed out that the use of 'eject' might have been avoided because 
"current media (and esp. those used with XOs) don't actually eject", 
maybe Gary knows more about it.
