    Changing original string in code would end up with POT change and
you would need to enter translations for the new string AGAIN.
    If the objective of changing the sentence is to improve user
exeperience for English users, I would suggest to enter translations
even for English PO.  But I imagine you want the change because of
clarity for translators for other languages?
