That is correct. I missed that we were already in Hard Code Freeze.
Options are to request an exception from the release team now, or to
wait until right after the 41.0 release so it gets in the 41.1 one. I
would recommend the latter, given the low severity of the issue we’re
addressing.

If you decide to ask the RT exception, it’s at

That is not that much of a problem. The change will result in a
“technical fuzzy”, translators will see the string as fuzzy, the
previous translation will be kept in place for them and they can
either choose to change it if the context requires it, or remove the
fuzzy marker.
