[theme-reviewers] Translation Slugs for Walkers

[Sayontan Sinha]

Leaving out the slug uses the default translation, of that I am sure. The
reason I asked is because I recall seeing a thread recently where an
argument was advanced that core WP developers might change the strings
used, in which case what I have in my theme remains untranslated.
