Looks like these strings are perfect to be put into the documentation
of gnome-lokkit and referenced from the code.
Anyway, I do not consider it a problem to the translators to translate it,
rather than a usability issue for end-users to read all that chunk
of information from a single window.
If end-users are happy, then the maintainer's choce should stand.
