Comment (by joedolson):

 One important decision here is that I chose to remove the hidden text
 comment on strings that were not switched to variables. This is because
 GlotPress shows strings where *any* instance of that string is hidden
 accessibility text as having that translator comment. But if there is a
 visible instance of the string, then that's what should be prioritized.
