I can acknowledge that there are language specific issues on the Translatewiki OSM support page that should be answered by the translation community. Issues with the locale strings, however, are the responsibility of the developer and not the translations community. For instance, the developer is responsible for addressing [this issue](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Osm:Site.copyright.legal_babble.contributors_nl_and/es) where there is a broken link by updating [en.yml:L2105](contributors_nl_and) to an existing link. 

The green box represents the language the translator was translating into.

Translslatewiki, using the yml file format which OSM is configured to use for localization, typically represents nesting using a period, i.e ".". For example, in the screenshot above, the string in question is located in the file [en.yml:L3103](tracestracktop_top): where the strings follow a hierarchy in OSM like so:

|   |   |   |   |
|---|---|---|---|
| javascripts|   |   |   | 
|   | map |   |   | 
|   |   | base |   |
|   |   |    | tracestracktop_top |

In this screenshot, the translator is asking that the word 'doesn't' located here [en.yml:L2418](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/config/locales/en.yml#L2418), be considered for revision as it may not translate well to Turkish or other languages.

Here is a link to [Translatewiki message documentation ](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:System_message/en#Message_documentation) which describes how translation source strings should be structured and how describing them can aid translators in understating context. A majority of these issues are also in regard to context.
