 ”About" label is used as the page title of `wp-admin/about.php` and the
 header in the GDPR personal data export HTML page.

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.9/src/wp-
 admin/about.php?marks=14#L14
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.9/src/wp-
 admin/includes/file.php?marks=1955#L1955

 In some languages, the word "About" can't really be translated by itself
 without knowing ''what it is about''.

 Why don't we use these 2 strings separate text? I propose:

 - "About WordPress" as the page title
 - "About Your Data" as the exported page header
