Unclear strings - Ubuntu phone

[Fòram na Gàidhlig]

If you're translating on Launchpad, just click the "Bugs" link in the
header menu. You will be able to report a bug from there.

The Click Packages Scope is a bit more complicated, you have to hit
"Overview" first and then "Bugs", which will give you a link to a
different project where you can report a bug.

It is a good idea to add a bug report for each, because if you have a
question, good chance that somebody else has that same question or
didn't notice the ambiguity.
