And in other languages it would be something else. We support roughly 300 languages - at least one of them isnt going to have a natural constructoon of that form. Insisting that translators have "editing" at the beginning of the line is a major step backwards.

some point of clarity in english and languages with the same structure it
would be :

Should I suggest in the message description that the translators should use such a grammatical construction so that the word "editing" stays at the beginning? That's what designers suggested.
That's almost certainly not possible in every language. It could work
as a suggestion, though ("If possible...").
However, it might be better to wrap the title (language aside, it could
provide better usability for some scenarios, e.g. if you lock your phone when editing, then come back to it and want to see what page you're on).
