Yep.  I also fixed a worrying number of @comando, @opzione, etc. on Weblate 
(both in the 'guix' and 'packages' sets).

Weblate is pretty unfriendly, so this was tedious and I'm positive there are 
some I missed.  There's a comment warning translators not to do this, but it's 
sadly useless since it's tied to *one* package—the odds of seeing it are 
vanishing.

Julien, is there a way to make this warning more prominent/ubiquitous?

(Also, is there a translation workflow that avoids relying on Weblate or other 
clunky tools?)

Run-time errors appear to be the only QA available for these strings, but this 
failure mode is extreme.  How about explicitly reporting the error & continuing 
in English?

From what I remember, the code won't be elegant (we append to the translation, 
then convert Texi, so falling back must be done by the caller or a new combo 
procedure) but the result would be better.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
