If available, URL to get the prior revision segment
If available, URL to get the following revision segment

To which thing do the words "prior" and "following" refer: to the revision or to the segment? This makes the translation different in some languages.

Adding to sprint. Merged patch has added the missing strings, but as Amir points out the wording could be improved to help with translation.
