 * This worked in the past, I believe some update introduced this problem.
   In Gettext
   like `Be the first to review “%s”` the %s isn’t translated, even though the translation
   for this string is in the database and correctly applied at the product title
   of this product page.
 * What I’ve tried already:
   Update to version 3.3.5 and optimize Database.
 * This shows what is not translated (red boxes):

 * This shows that the translation is already available:
