Bug Description

The following string needs clarification for translators:

"Reset APN Settings"
  ../plugins/cellular//PageChooseApn.qml:591

Is this for both MMS and Internet, or just for one of them?

Why is that information useful to translators? Seems like rather something for users?

Because APN is an abbreviation that can have a plural form if spelled out ;)

well, settings is plural there, isn't that enough information?

No. One thing can have many settings:

Singular: Access point name's settings
Plural: Access point names' settings

Not the same thing, although one would pronounce it the same in English.

So I get:

Singular: Roghainnean na puinge-inntrigidh
Plural: Roghainnean nam puingean-inntrigidh

If I had kept the English acronym, it would have looked like this:

Singular: Roghainnean an APN
Plural: Roghainnean nan APNan

Note that Roghainnean = Settings is in the plural form in both cases, but APN is not.
