The reason for that is that different languages have different colons
(even if I skip some weird things, depending on charset used, unicode
has two colons, one for standard charsets and one for double width
like Chinese or Japanese - : and ：). And even if they have same
colon, they for example expect to have space before it...

Generally, the string to translate should be always complete string you
see in the UI, otherwise it's really hard to translate it properly into
some languages.
