So can you give an example please?  I still can't see any concrete case.

In your example, is "Epiphany - Web Browser" and "Epiphany Webo
Browsero" supposed to be two different languages?
If so, then you'd translate i18n("%1 %2")   as  "%1 - %2"  in the
first language, and "%1 %2" in the second language.

Or better yet, just have  "Epiphany - Web Browser" and  "Epiphany -
Webo Browsero" for all language.
