Do not most languages have a translation for these examples? Certainly 
many languages are happy with " and" (" et", " und" ...) and the other 
bits, "(permanent)", "(disabled)", "(all threads)" and "(thread %d)", 
are self contained and seem readily translatable to me.

If a specific language can't do something useful with it they can just 
leave it as " and" they've lost nothing. At least they have the 
opportunity to gain something.

I take your general point though, it's better to translate whole 
sentences. We could fix the 'and' problem like this:

"Note: Breakpoint %s is also set at pc"
"Note: Breakpoints %s and %s are also set at pc"

Of course that would require collecting the strings into a buffer of 
some kind with all the attendant jiggery pokery that that requires. I 
don't know that anything can be done about the various annotations.

In any case, a patch without gettext markup is attached.
