Thanks to both of you. Yes, I found these rather odd strings, under Additional names of the profiles, were not yet translated:

Translated and committed them in AMOS. They arrived next day in my test site (3.9), after a manual language pack update. Will check with the real target sites (3.8), whether they get the new strings too. Anyway, it is their job.
