Yes that's the intended result. To still keep some context, I hesitated and
didn't have a strong opinion about what is better. Now that I reread it there
would be no ambiguity. So better isolate every piece, right?

Now that you are here I can ask what should I do about semicolons? Should I
always include them in the string? I left part of them out because I guess I
would help RTL languages:

> And also I included semicolons in the <span> when the context allows for a translated version with the semicolon on the left to make sense. If the context has a related thing just after on the same line (on the right) to the string, then I didn't include the semicolon to leave it "pointing" at the right thing. Even though that's wrong, but we can't swap the phrases.

> caveat: I don't have any experience in translating RTL in Koha so I'm not sure if these things help.
> And I just noticed we have an RTL CSS that might actually swap stuff. If that's the case, the fact that I left the semicolon outside the <span> might not be an issue because it should end up swapped right?
