 This is a follow-up to #21307, also related #22994


 I found inconsistent translations (german) regarding 4 strings starting
 with "Show Link".
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/widgets
 /class-wp-widget-links.php?marks=147-154

 I then realized these belong to the Blogroll/Link List, which is not part
 of WP Core anymore, see

 #21307 (Remove Link Manager from core, 5 years old)

 On Aug 21, 2012, @macmanx said the following on
 https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-blog-has-no-links-section-in-the-
 admin

  The Links section was removed from the core WordPress.org software, which
 means that it will probably be removed from WordPress.com soon.

 However there is the official Plugin re-enabling the Blogroll here:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/
 Active installs: 100,000+ !!

 so this is still supported in a way, now in 2017.

 Now the question is: Do we still care for this and so I would have to
 translate the strings correctly OR
 can we completely remove this code exuding cadaverous odour?
