Hi Eduardo,

That string should definitely have a comment to give context. If it's
in Firefox, filing a bug and CC me would probably be the best way to
go. If you prefer to just reach out directly, that works too.

Adding a comment at this point won't solve the wrong translations, so
bringing it up on the mailing list is a good idea.
