These three strings are all written in different ways (A→B/A->B/A to B). Maybe they should be changes so they are written in the same way.
A→B Loop
A->B Loop
Stop the A to B loop

One string is without space and another is with space (crossfeed/cross feed).
Crossfeed
Cross feed of left into right with inverted phase. This helps in suppressing the mono. If the value is 1 it will cancel all the signal common to both channels.

1 string use greyscale (with e), 4 strings use grayscale (with a).

So maybe change:
"I420 - first plane is greyscale"
To:
"I420 - first plane is grayscale"

Thanks for the detailed review. It will probably take some time, before this can be included.

Since I am aware of the amount of time this kind of review/comparison takes, I just have a single remark:
Don't waste too much time on vlmc. Basically, all messages need a review and furthermore, we don't expect it to be released any time soon, since we don't have enough volunteers to work on it.

I still wonder if it was a good idea to add vlmc to transifex at all.

Sometimes bits are written as "64-bit" and sometimes "64 bit".

I'm not sure if its a error but maybe these string:

"10 bits"
"8 bits"
"15 bits"
"16 bits"
"24 bits"
"32 bits"

Should be changed to:

"10-bits"
"8-bits"
"15-bits"
"16-bits"
"24-bits"
"32-bits"

Maybe "™" should be removed from:
"VLC for Android™"

Or added to those strings that does not have "™"

In the Toolbars Editor there are 4 tabs with:

Main Toolbar
Time Toolbar
Advanced Widget
Fullscreen Controller

Maybe they should all be called something with Toolbar in it ?

Like:

Main Toolbar
Time Toolbar
Advanced Toolbar
Fullscreen Toolbar

And then change "Advanced Widget" and "Fullscreen Controller" in all the other strings that contain them.

Maybe missing space after ",".
Maybe remove newline efter "settings,".
