Update wording of the crossing markings quest

Fixes #5872

Sorry, Kate threw in some new lines at the end of some of the files. Can I leave that like this or should I clean it up?

Whooat? Where do all those translations come from? You didn't go through the effort to try to translate them all, did you?

[RubenKelevra]

I've battled with ChatGPT for an hour or so and checked with Google Translate if the translation is precise.

[westnordost]

Damn, I am sorry for that. It is wasted effort. Translations will be overwritten on the next import from POEditor. When a source string changes, all translations will automatically be marked as "fuzzy" in POEditor, so translators can have a look at the string and adapt the translation.
While you could logon to POEditor and change all those strings there too, I think it is always better to leave it to people actually speaking the language. (I wouldn't mind if you did, but it seems a lot of effort.)

From this PR, I'd prefer if you removed the changes to the translations because they will be overwritten anyway, as I stated.

Yeah, it's best to have them checked by a native speaker, but they should be fine.

For German, for example, the translation before was actually wrong — I'm a native speaker.

In German, it stated "Fußgängerüberweg" which means pedestrian crossing. But while the quest is confusingly named "quest_pedestrian_crossing_markings" a crossing in OSM could very well be a bicycle crossing or a mixed crossing.

That's why the English string does not specify it - I assume - but the translator saw probably the naming of the variable and assumed "pedestrian crossing" are meant.

If possible, it would be nice if the translators could just look over it and either modify or accept it. I thought that's what going to happen anyway. :)

Nope, the translations are only synced one-way, i.e. from POEditor to this repo, never the other way round.
