These could be combined to something like:
/* Translators: %s will be "themes" or "plugins" */
pintf( 'Selected %s will no longer be auto-updates', 'themes' )

thanx for the feedback, much appreciated!

BTW, could you also look at #103 (comment)?

Not sure if it's a good idea.
Might be a language where the translation is different (eg.: different genre)

@pedro-mendonca thanks for the remark.
In French: Theme is male and Plugin is female and it works out well.
In the European languages I know, this would not generate any issues. Do you know any that could generate the issue you describe?

No, I can only speak for portuguese where both are male and it's not a problem.

@ePascalC If I'm not wrong, at least in French there will actually be a problem.

I don't see "stupid" in the available labels, so I chose "Invalid" :-)
