Strip the context used for resolving translation ambiguities.

not available and the msgid contains the separator. In that case,
the returned value is the portion of msgid following the last
separator. Default separator is '|'.
@param msgid: The string to translated.
@type msgid: unicode
@param sep: The separator marking the context.
@type sep: unicode
@return: Translation or the original with context stripped.
