I didn't checked, but ideally Tracker should support

I don't think operators should be translatable (see previous link), but
if really you want to do it, the best for translator is use something
like:

        .. Q_("QueryLanguage|and") ..
        .. Q_("QueryLanguage|or") ..

See glib references for more info about Q_() operator
