I just removed those.

Haven't solved this one, yet, for documents where we already have translations. For new strings this seems to work already.
I think I have just pushed all the current translations of the 4.8.1 announcement to Wordpress.
Please verify that these are correct - let me know if things are missing, garbled, incorrectly encoded, etc.
I have stared at these for so long now that I'm not seeing clearly anymore - especially with all those that I can't read in the first place...

I've played with this briefly and it's actually quite nice in Transifex - at least for the cases where we don't end up with English text as "translation".
