I immediately saw the commands above and wondered why you are
not removing them from being translated. My guess is that the
"<stash>" strings are the bits that are interesting to
translate. Perhaps add some description in your commit message
as to why you are drawing the line here?

Are there other instances in builtin/*.c? If not, then it
would be nice to say so. Otherwise, it would be good to fix
them, while you are here.

Thanks,

I reviewed all of the translatable strings and only found this problem
in graph.c and builtin/stash.c.
