I'm taking on a lot of contributions to translations and the common complaint
I hear is that not all can be translated correctly due to such tricks (or just
missing gettext), most translators care much more about a correct translation
than some over-optimized ones than then break depending on context or target
language.

Also, changing this now results in only a few new strings to be translated for
those languages we get common contributions for, so not really much effort to
catch up again.

Any right-to-left languages could be broken.

If, we would need to use

Ext.String.format(gettext('Default ({0})'), gettext('Free'))

But FWIW, that also drops a bit of context information (Free might be
translated different in the context of a default-value then some button
that free's something.
