Description

In https://github.com/mdn/fred/pull/452 we added auto-generated ids to all inline strings. Some of these are fine, some of these could be better.

It probably makes most sense to go component-by-component updating them.

If we implement https://github.com/mdn/fred/issues/1363, there needs to be no rush here, and we can simply update components as we get to them, or when we receive feedback from localisers on them.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR 452 to understand the generated l10n IDs and issue 1363 to see whether the proposed approach changes this work. Then choose a component whose IDs need improvement; the work is done when that component's IDs have been updated and verified against its inline strings.
