Yes, and please next time, ask here before doing any change,
localization is a complex work and you have very experimented people here.

In general, these are not for translation indeed. You may want to
check, if they are all complete sentences or something that can stand
on its own. I mean the *_part_title variables that we discussed in the
other thread, they are using similar scheme, and it that case we wrote
out the original string instead of variable embedding.

Best regards,
Andras
