Comment:

 These strings seem to be missing because they generally duplicate
 information that should be returned from the WordPress.org API. Apparently
 the translations were present in core but are not transferred from the
 API, even though the intent of the relevant functions was for .org to be
 able to update this list without core changes. We've moved past that
 concept at this point, and this issue reinforces that core needs its own
 version of this list distinct from the API (unless the API could be
 updated to return the translations).

 For the customizer, these tags were removed due to being unhelpful in the
 process of finding a theme. In the process, the translations seem to have
 been lost for wp-admin, even though wp-admin is still using the tags
 returned from the API, while the customizer uses the list in core. .org,
 wp-admin, and the customizer will all be reconciled with a modernized
 theme browsing experience in a future iteration, based on a joint effort
 with the themes and meta teams.

 The easiest solution at this point for 4.9 would be to use the core
 features list for wp-admin too, as the .org list is outdated and has
 usability issues with many of the tags (many are more useful for
 "internal" purposes but not user-facing). See [attachment:42306.diff].

 (the line break issue is something that's less critical, and it should
 only happen for ''very'' long strings and at specific screen sizes)
