That is the wrong question. The question is: Should they be? :-)

And the answer is: no, they should not/it doesn't make sense to translate them.

They were incorrectly flagged as being translatable with
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=60933220b2b6daa4b6acb177e4639c14519f459b

While other strings (the ones in the …_ENGLISH blocks) have been fixed
already, it is a little different with those, as those are
not-meant-to-be translated strings in a block that primarily has
translatable items.

https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/60933220b2b6daa4b6acb177e4639c14519f459b#diff-31b4fcd4fe0f999d26172d4f1a17db39L2229

I don't know whether there is an easy way to fix that in the itemlist
method without splitting that out to a different block and adjust
everything else accordingly..
