If proper gettext context is not supported, an old workaround is to use

msgstr "nominative|Queen of Spades"

and then have the programme strip off the "nominative|" part.
Although this is not considered a very good solution.  Also it would
be necessary with a comment instructing translators to ignore the part
"nominative|".
