I agree with this - also, reporting the smaller errors to the
translation teams could mean that they are corrected elsewhere, as
they are likely repeated in the 100+ GNOME modules.  I wonder if that
link is found in multiple modules?

(Of course it is tedious to wait for the translation teams when
there's a release deadline and you're doing the final polishing.)
