These come from
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1047

The strings did not technically exist in the po file or the code
before and this is technically a freeze break. **However** the code
was concatenating parts of them to build these final strings (e.g. it
would recreate the current "2G, 4G (Preferred)" from "2G", ", ", "4G",
and " (Preferred)") and that is a major translation issue. "Unknown"
with the "Network mode" context is completely new.

Here is approval 1/2 from i18n, even if the maintainer forgot to ask
(or even to warn us).
