Hi Jacob!

And welcome bac:) if back is the word here. After the issue with docs I got afraid you are entirely and forever gone :(

Well - those lines were included  only in 1.5 - as addition to  the backport - I guess You noted -  to keep translations complete.

I'm ok with fix those two strings both in head and in 1.5 for english. And translations in 1.5. . Those sentences are not translated in head as I  wonted to touch the i18n area as few as possible.

As you have strongest language skills around, feel free to fix without any other review. The 1.5 is not yet tagged.


thank you very much!
