Thanks for reporting this! I _think_ this is related to the issue reported on [Quick access to bookmarks and messages on user menu - #52 by xrav3nz](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quick-access-to-bookmarks-and-messages-on-user-menu/32787/52). If so, @xrav3nz already has a PR up for it :100:

Turns out it isn’t the same bug so we’ll need to keep this open. @xrav3nz could repro this and might look into fixing this sometime soon :hammer_and_wrench:

Replying here so that others will have the context.

I thought this was weird because the notification tab does not share the same rendering codepath as the others, so I reverted the new quick access feature locally, and can still repro the issue:

I believe this is a super edge case with our client-side `I18n.t`, and here is a minimal failing test for it: [https://github.com/xrav3nz/discourse/commit/3d7324281a285158fe75f9e7b42574906c940e49](https://github.com/xrav3nz/discourse/commit/3d7324281a285158fe75f9e7b42574906c940e49).
