It is possible to define multiple variants for a given word in which case Pootle will display all of the options, a translator then must make the correct choice.

Context itself is difficult for a machine to determine.I mean is there even a technical support in Pootle for the context variants, as described?
You can always review suggestions online with Pootle. However, if you wanted to review these alternative translations offline then yes you need to be working in XLIFF. That doesn't mean that the files must be in XLIFF format since Pootle allows you to download an XLIFF version of the PO files.Also, could you please elaborate on the XLIFF process you mentioned You said: "But if you download an XLIFF version for offline translation then Sasha's suggestions would be listed as alternative translations. You can use Virtaal to edit these offline XLIFF files." Does this mean to even use these "alternative translations", one has to switch to the XLIFF format?
