 The strings "None" and "none" are used in many places.

 Unfortunately, this string is impossible to translate correctly in many
 languages.
 The reason is that depending on what noun is described, this word may need
 to be presented in various forms.

 Here are the places I can see right now. Unfortunately, I don't have
 enough knowledge to trace the JS sources.

 Note that some of the places are using the word "None" qualifies the same
 thing, for instance "Alignment" and therefore these occurrences could
 share the same string for translation.

 Line numbers are given as reference as of May 4 2020.

 none
     wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php:1240 type of personal relation
     wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php:1273 type of geographical relation
     wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php:1296 type of family relation

 None
     wp-includes/script-loader.php:954 ?? (term list for JavaScript)
     wp-includes/media-template.php:738 Alignment
     wp-includes/media-template.php:765 Embedded Player
     wp-includes/media-template.php:850 Media link target
     wp-includes/media-template.php:994 Alignment
     wp-includes/media-template.php:1011 Media URL
     wp-includes/media-template.php:1058 Alignment
     wp-includes/media-template.php:1134 Media URL
     wp-includes/media-template.php:1254 Preload type
     wp-includes/media-template.php:1353 Preload type
     wp-includes/deprecated.php:688 Dropdown categories  (this string could
 actually simply be replaced by the number 0)
     wp-includes/js/dist/components.js:33393 ?? (minified JavaScript)
     wp-includes/js/dist/block-library.js:7854 ?? (minified JavaScript)
     wp-includes/js/dist/block-library.js:9029 ?? (minified JavaScript)
     wp-includes/js/dist/block-library.js:21371 ?? (minified JavaScript)

 For reference, I've only seen one place where _x is used, thus enabling
 correct translation of the string:
 None _x
 wp-includes/class-wp-editor.php?marks=1336#L1336
