Comment (by lopo):

 I'm reviewing this one as part of the Yoast Contributor Day activities.
 The patch looks good to me and appears to be working as expected.

 To test the fix I:
 - changed a string in the Settings page to `''` (empty string)
 - switched my env to Italian
 - added the following to `admin-it_IT.po` and updated the .mo with
 `msgfmt` on the command line
 {{{
 msgid "0"
 msgstr "0"
 }}}
 - I could see the empty string was wrongly translated as `0`
 - applying the patch the string is correctly translated to an empty
 string.
