When translating the preferences in Pootle, the strings of every preference are
prefixed with a string, keeping them unique and allowing for a more individual
translation. In other words: you can use different translations for Use/don't
use, activate/deactivate depending on context and the rest of the sentence.

Now in the manual chapters for the system preferences, this does no longer
work. There strings like Use/don't use and activate/deactivate are "collapsed"
into one string. So you can only translate it once, which means you can't match
the translations you picked for the Koha GUI.

I am not sure how to solve this. Maybe we could think about formatting the
preferences in the manual differently so the whole text descriptoin appears as
one entry on Pootle?
