 We have `<!ENTITY project.tpoLink         "&vendorShortName؛">` in
 `ar`'s `aboutDialog.dtd`. Note for comparision, just one line above in
 that file `<!ENTITY project.start           "طوّر &brandShortName;">`.

 The latter is correct as the `&` and `;` are making sure `brandShortName`
 as it is translated elsewhere gets included. But that fails if one starts
 to escape those characters (e.g. by replacing `&` with `&amp`).

 Thanks to Thorin for reporting this issue.
