@ocean90 It's not an enhancement, it's a simple search&replace fixing translation strings. We have several tickets that do the same, they are all defined as defect/bug, let's be consistent.

  • Keywords needs-refresh added

I think we should take the opportunity to improve the phrasing of these instructions.

  • References to ctrl+A should be removed (re-phrase to simply say something along the lines of "select all")
  • The use of we and us is bizarre. Let's re-word the affected sentences to remove the need to reference the little people who live inside WordPress.

  • Keywords needs-refresh removed

@johnbillion Good feedback but those text-changes can be done in separate tickets (use the Text Changes Component).

The scope of this ticket is moving HTML tags, URLs, and other variables outside of translations strings, replacing them with %s placeholders.
