Greetings, translator here.

Currently Kaidan strings do not seem to have the recommended User Interface Markers[1] to indicate the location of a specific user-interface string. Adding these markers add a lot to the quality of the translation, since it allows the translators to distinguish and tailor the capitalisation patterns and other possible language-specific rules. Currently it looks like there is some sort of automatic context[3] added, but it does not help at all.

As a bonus point, it might be a good idea to review the updated HIG[2]  for writing texts, and using the specific punctuation and mark patterns for a better presentation and accessibility of the user interface strings.
