 > Having this word count in the WP_Locale object would make this much
 easier.

 @zodiac1978 please check the new ticket #56698 and PR
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/3377/

 > If you think it's best to keep these settings in the pot, lets keep them
 there. However thinking we need to have a "centralized" place to process
 and expose them.

 @azaozz I agree with this. This is why I made this table where the
 possible errors are exposed, many strings do need sanitization, but
 currently, GlotPress has no way of doing it.
 https://wp-i18n.org/stats/language-settings/
 Many locales have actually translated these **settings strings**, some
 others are not, but differ from GP_Locale properties, like
 `word_count_type` and `text_direction`.

 A suggestion, for further development of a GlotPress sanitization feature,
 set a specific context to strings that are meant to work as exclusively as
 **settings**, and a convention to pass some arguments, for example:

 {{{
 /* translators: This sets the text direction for WordPress. Options:
 'ltr', 'rtl'. */
 _x( 'ltr', 'no-translate-setting' );
 }}}
