Comment (by emmapeel):

 so, i was looking at the strings and there are many incomplete strings.

 I mean, the po file presents them in an incomplete form and they get
 concatenated afterwards. i.e. https://github.com/traumschule/torbrowser-
 localized/blob/master/locale/de/start-tor-browser.po#L69

 This may not work in many languages.

 Can't you try something that will generate whole sentences, even with some
 little placeholders?

 Also, can you make a pull request so I see the differences neatly on
 github and I can review more easily? :D thanks!
