Bug Description

There are a couple of problems with the translations of the unity overlay (keep super key pressed):

The shortcut for 'Semi-maximise the current window' is "Ctrl + Alt + Left or Right". However, only "or Right" is available for translation, the "Left" part of the string is not.

Even though both "Tap" and "Press" are translatable, it seems that the translated strings are not used in the "HUD" section of the overlay, namely in "Alt (Tap)" to open the HUD and "Alt (Press)" to show the application menu.

"Down" from "Ctrl + Super + Down" to 'restore or minimize the current window' is not translatable

"Grave" from "Alt + Grave" to 'switch between windows of the current program' is not translatable.

It should be possible to get a freeze exception for this, at least from the translation teams, since fixing this would not lead to a loss of translation effort (i.e. it would not affect current translations).

Edit:
If the "Control" key could also be made translatable, it could be translated to "Ctrl" to mitigate bug 975018

More specifically, bug #971332 is a subset of this one.
