I have been looking onto this, and there are many strings in which
translators didn't made any mistakes, because they have a nice comment
when translating. So I made a commit with comments that add information
that appears in Transifex in a prominent place while translating (by
copying the other strings)
I created a translation-fixes branch in
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/emmapeel/tails that fixes this on the first
commit:
80b097458cd037714205e56d1e4cd80d73e58f7e
Then I added more strings to the .po files by circling them in _(), but
I do not have the setup to build an ISO, so I could not test them.
This changes are in b9119040ab0c1bce3dd486017dbdf410d9399688 and
segfault offered to review them.
Lastly, I added the .po files changes. If any of the previous changes is
not accepted, it may be better to skip merging the commit:
dbfa2a1f7b5df02628bb48d95575ff7192518aef
Please review (segfault offered to do so)

I went through the translations on transifex and I think they dont fail
anymore (I ran ./import_translations && ./refresh-translations &&
