Subject: bug#44455: [ARTWORK] website: Not enough context for translation of None
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2020 23:52:33 +0100

The string "None" does not have enough context and can lead to wrong
translations, as the word or even the gender may differ for each one.
This change also will invalidate the current translation.

The code fragment where it is used is included as reported in other
thread:
