;-) That is a clever way to say what my first reaction to Eric's
comment was, which was to have this as multiple strbuf_addf().

Technically speaking, the '#' at the beginning of lines must not be
translated, either, and if that goes without saying, i.e. if the
translators know well enough not to change them, then I can be
persuaded that we can expect that translators know well enough not
to touch the three substrings Eric pointed out.

So, the original message may be fine as-is.
