Yes, I do insist.

For things without translation, I suggest you just copy the English
string. This will mark, for future reference that you think the
translation of "Jersey" in Kurdish is "Jersey" (this is indeed what is
done for French and many languages, and not for Jersey only).

The "Commonwealth" word is also mostly untranslatable.

Again, taking French as example (French is part of the standard so the
translation is not mine, but an official translation):

msgid "Commonwealth of the Bahamas"
msgstr "Commonwealth des Bahamas"
