Comment:

 > The person that imports translations is responsible to import properly
 formatted strings. Now as a PTE or GTE you have to either correct those
 lines or remove them. Because obviously they are not corrected by the
 person that imports them

 Whenever you see spaces after/around those placeholders like that, you can
 bet it's a machine translated (probably Google Translate) translation.

 My understanding was that importing/uploading of strings required a higher
 level of access though? As in, regular accounts shouldn't have the ability
 to upload accounts, and if a PTE is processing uploads such as this they
 probably shouldn't have the status for that language they're not
 reviewing?

 Possibly a dup of #4171
