#5777: Disambiguate the profile menus

 I'm testing 2.1 Alpha and preparing the next release translation and found
 some areas for improvement.

 Top right user menu and profile header nav and subnav
 need a contextual string (_x) on all items for better translation.


 {{{
 0) Header menu
 Activity | Profile | Notifications | Messages | Friends

 1) Toolbar > User Menu
 Profile (/membres/user/profile/)
       |--> View ( /membres/user/profile/public/)
           |--> Edit ( /membres/user/profile/edit/)
           |--> Avatar ( /membres/user/profile/change-avatar/)

 2) Notifications (/membres/user/notifications/)
       |--> Read (/membres/user/notifications/)
           |--> Unread (/membres/user/notifications/read/)

 3) Settings (/membres/user/settings/)
           |--> Account(/membres/user/settings/general/)
           |--> Notifications /membres/user/settings/notifications/)
           |--> Profile (/membres/user/settings/profile/)
 }}}

 On the settings page (3) there is a submenu with 3 items
 Logically could be Account setting | Notifications setting | Profile
 setting.

 When you translate Profile into Profile Setting for this sub menu, this
 will also modify Profile on the Header menu and on the User menu. Bad !

 This is also true for Friends and Groups on the user menu and for the
 notification (read/unread) action button.

 Aside, what is the logic behind the use of %s for 1 ?

 For ex. Viewing topic %s to %s (of %d topic%s) = Viewing topic 1 to 1 (of
 1 topic) is a bit ridiculous.
 If you have only 1 topic, it is possible to write 1 topic (as used in
 single/groups/invites.php:14). Or this one is false or nearly 51 other
 plural strings could be modified.

 "Viewing topic 1 (total)" seems enough to me (and probably for gettext
 also).

 FYI, a good read [http://nedohodnik.net/gettextbis/ here] about Gettext
 usage (including plural arguments).
