Requesting permission to land these string changes. Thanks! Thanks David for that well-presented explanation. Even if C1 and A3 could have been treated the same way as the non user-visible strings, I think it makes a whole with A1/A2/A4. I just ask you to add translator comments for strings containing placeholders, especially when this can affect the meaning (A1 seems the most obvious). Approval 1 of 2.
