And there were hundred(s) of such strings, more to come.
I created a compendium from old translations. Then I replaced all ~ to _ and merged the two compendiums. With this merged compendium most of the old translations were re-used. When not, they often come as suggestion from amaGama server (in Pootle). So I tried to mitigate the collateral damage.
