I’d say this is covered by “Marking a message for translation that was previously not marked for translation by accident.” Even though the string was technically translatable, the translation couldn’t be used. > – Proposition 1: fix the string generation using “

In a perfect world, we would fix bug #793931 properly. As we live in this world, I think proposition 2 is the best solution for 3.28, and we can deal with the bigger problem in 3.30.
