 If we want [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ more locals] to
 finish translating wordpress, we have to provide shorter and simpler
 translation string.

 As a the Hebrew (he_IL) GTE, I see that most contributors tend to
 translate the simple strings, and I have to finish all the long strings by
 myself.

 I also noticed that contributors avoid translating strings with HTML tags
 because in hebrew letters are RTL and the HTML tags are LRT. It's very
 confusing (even for me).

 This is why I made it my mission to fix as many core translation strings
 as I can.

 Unfortunately, core is only the first step - plugins and theme is the next
 step.
