Bug Description
After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I ran journalctl -f and noticed that gnome-shell was spamming errors at the rate of 12 lines every second:
geg. 02 18:29:19 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.

My locale is lt_LT.UTF-8, but this issue appears also in ru_RU, id (Indonesian) and maybe other locales.
This is caused by a mistaken translation of the quote characters in "'24h'" which is used as the default value for a particular gsettings key. Specifically, this translation: https:/
https:/
https:/
Since I'm a member of the Lithuanian translators team, I've fixed the translation error for Lithuanian language in translations.
(I've also submitted a fixed Lithuanian translation upstream to l10n.gnome.org , but not for other languages)
Workaround: run dconf-editor, find /org/gnome/
System-wide workaround for Lithuanian language:
msgunfmt /usr/share/
