Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:8 phoul]:
 > Is there a specific list of languages that this is an issue for?

 It affects many languages, e.g., ar, de, es, ...

 > Just to clarify: in this case, it appears that completely unwanted
 "&"s are occurring? Does this only occur in aboutTor.properties &
 aboutDialog.dtd (that you have observed)?

 The problem seems to be confined to aboutDialog.dtd.
 If you look at the original en file, you can see that project.start and
 project.tpoLink contain embedded entities (&brandShortName; and
 &vendorShortName;):
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/tree/src/chrome/locale/en/aboutDialog.dtd

 But if you look at the same file in the translations.git repo, you can see
 that & has been changed to & e.g.,:
   https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/tree/en/aboutdialog.dtd?h
 =torbutton-aboutdialogdtd
   https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/tree/ar/aboutdialog.dtd?h
 =torbutton-aboutdialogdtd
