I know that this is a pain for translators, and there is already a bug
opened to fix it in glade (the bug you opened, to which I'm CC-ed), but
it still seems to be unassigned... and the only work-around I could do
is to move these strings from glade to code, I haven't done this because
I consider it's just moving the problem from tranlators to developers,
as these strings don't have a special reason for being in code when all
the dialogs are in glade (really, I don't think this is a solution).
well, all that I can do is to talk with glade developers to offer my
little spare time...
