Thank you for raising this issue. The string preparation and migration from 
Audacity 3 to Audacity 4 were a bit rough.

Please do not hesitate to ask for anything that could make the translation 
process easier or more comfortable.

We added context comments to translatable lines and pushed to transifex, let me 
know if this is better now.
