 This is not urgent but I thought it may be pertinent :D

 Sounds like it would be worth filing a new bug for that and loop steph in.
 Currently the strings are aligned between mobile and desktop platforms.
 *If* we want to change them for ease of translation for mobile then we
 should change them for all platforms.
