Nice. Thanks for tackling this. I'll no doubt be submitting some of
these myself once we start getting translations.
This is not a regression, but note that something like this:

Isn't going to cut it for RTL languages like Hebrew and Arabic, since
for them the "hint: " would effectively be at the end of the line.
I think the easiest way to tackle that sort of thing is to just do:
_("hint: %.*s\n")
And have a TRANSLATORS comment indicating that the format string
should be kept, but that translators can move around the "hint", GNU
gettext also has a msgcheck feature to check that format strings are
compatible in the translations.
