Hard to translate: "Enter your current password to change the %mail or %pass."

The string

Enter your current password to change the %mail or %pass. !request_new.

on user/n/edit is very hard to translate correctly because of the placeholders %mail and %pass. You really need to control the whole sentence to translate it properly. A couple of examples: In Norwegian, you don't use a separate word like "the" to get the definite form, you add an ending to the word instead. While in German, there are three different versions of "the" depending on the word it's pointing to.

There doesn't seem to be a good reason for these placeholders. The string should be changed to:

Enter your current password to change the <em>e-mail address</em> or <em>password</em>. !request_new.
