Many strings are badly formed but many of those were written in OpenOffice era.
Several of them are even incorrect according with ODF formula like the ones You stated before. This could lead to corporate entities not adopting Libreoffice as main office app. Of course translators can always change strings not respecting the original ones but many of entities tend to use English language due to localization errors. I do this in Android system. In this case all I can say is that sometimes translations are better than original strings.
