Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.The string "Location" needs context for translators to be able to translate it correctly.
Some languages (Norwegian, at least -- I assume there are others) use different words for "location as a geographical place" and "location of files on a computer". Drupal core uses the string "Location" in the latter way (see screendump: http://drupal.org/files/issues/location_in_report.png). So in order to translate "Location" correctly for the location module, a context should be added, for instance "Geographical".
Related issue for the Location module: #1037278: Need string context for "Location". The context text should be the same for both these modules.

Sutharsan CreditAttribution: Sutharsan commentedThis patch add a 'geolocation' context to the string 'Location'.
I have also extracted all translatable strings from Gmap module that contain the string 'location' and that are short enough to be reused in a different context. But I don't see any other candidates for context.
Not that introducing this context in the code will break the translation on existing sites. One way to mitigate this, is use an update script to copy existing translations to include the context. Some example code for this update can be found here: https://drupal.org/comment/8282125#comment-8282125
