For completeness, 

The reason this fix was put in place is because we have mechanisms for finding binary matches of English strings and applying the same translation to all of them -- regardless of the project.  This helps complete the translation faster by requiring less effort on the translators, and ensures translation portability from one version of a project to the next even if the keys have been renamed, or moved to another properties file.
