This gives something like:
> homeExplanation=Telemetria jest %1$S i rejestrowanie rozszerzonych danych telemetrii jest %2$S.
> telemetryEnabled=włączona
> telemetryDisabled=wyłączona

and it should be something like:
> homeExplanation=Telemetria jest %1$S i rejestrowanie rozszerzonych danych telemetrii jest %2$S.
> telemetryEnabled=włączona
> telemetryDisabled=wyłączona
> extendedTelemetryEnabled=włączone
> extendedTelemetryDisabled=wyłączone

Also, not sure I see logic dealing with "current", and why you would need a replacement there, instead of just

pingExplanationCurrent = Each piece of information is sent bundled into “%1$S“. You are looking at the current ping.
The word current is clickable... We add html around the word to make it clickable.

That makes sense, but can you point me to the code doing it (that's what I meant with logic above)?

Please have these reveiwed by someone who knows l10n more than me. The JS code looks fine, but I can't pass judgement on whether the strings'll work :)

You need to change this ID, since you’re introducing “” that were hard-coded before.

I know this is a piece of existing code, but can you explain how this is used?

For non current pings

let pingName = this._getSelectedPingName();
pingName += ", " + this._getSelectedPingType();

What are the values of getSelectedPingName and getSelectedPingType?

String is already in the file, remove this one
The ping name is the ping timestamp and the ping type can be something like "main" "saved-session".
Thanks. Ideally we should not have part of the text hard-coded. 

Option 1: If I understand the code correctly, pingDetails is only used for named pings at this point? So it could become

# Note to translators:
# - %1$S will be replaced by a link with pingExplanationLink
# - %2$S will be replaced by the ping timestamp, e.g. "2017/07/08 10:40:46"
# - %3$S will be replaced by the ping name, e.g. "saved-session"
pingDetails = Each piece of information is sent bundled into “%1$S“. You are looking at the %2$S, %3$S ping.

Option 2: Drop pingDetailsCurrent, build %2$S in pingDetails dinamycally
a) if it's current
b) if it's a named ping

To remove the hard coded text in b), you'll need another string to build the ping name

# Note to translators:
# - %1$S will be replaced by the ping timestamp, e.g. "2017/07/08 10:40:46"
# - %2$S will be replaced by the ping name, e.g. "saved-session"
namedPing = %1$S, %2$S

I added pingDetailsCurrent because of this :).

Ah, didn't realize there was another piece hard coded.

I would add a short comment, since it took me a while to find.

# Used as a tooltip for the "current" ping title in the sidebar
Attachment #8888252 - Flags: review?(francesco.lodolo) → review+
On a side note: the last iteration shows another "issue" in the design. 

The current ping name is displayed on top of the sidebar, and it looks out of place: it's lowercase, while all the other titles are uppercase, and it's not much different from the other items. I wonder if it should be "Ping: current", or styled differently.

I don't like that much adding a "Ping:" in the sidebar, but we definitely need to find something to differentiate it from the rest of the sidebar.

Also in the home page only the timestamp is underlined, whereas before the ping type was too. I find it harder to understand that the ping type is also part of the ping. So I don't know if we should keep this part hardcoded or add a separator string ?

If you need both underlined, a clean solution would be

# Note to translators:
# - %1$S will be replaced by a link with pingExplanationLink
# - %2$S will be replaced by the namedPing
pingDetails = Each piece of information is sent bundled into “%1$S“. You are looking at the %2$S ping.

# Note to translators:
# - %1$S will be replaced by the ping timestamp, e.g. "2017/07/08 10:40:46"
# - %2$S will be replaced by the ping name, e.g. "saved-session"
namedPing = %1$S, %2$S

Having a different pingDetailsCurrent might not be needed, but at this point safer so keep it separated (more flexibility).

At :flod's request I've taken a look at the JS, since it's changed a bit since the initial version.

It looks good.

The second patch has a typo:

> pingDetails = Each piece of information is sent bundled into “%1$S“. You are looking at the %2$S ping.

Note the repeated opening quotation marks (““ instead of “”). Please correct that before landing.

Ugh, good catch, really hard to see with this font.
