'has invited you to join the class:' is not translatable in some languages

See original GitHub issue

registration.classroomInviteNewStudentStepDescription (in general) is a sentence fragment. In languages where the subject doesn’t come before the text, this becomes very difficult to translate.

Now that the www strings have been split from the legacy .po file, we could add a placeholder to the string: '{teacherId}<br/> has invited you to join the class'

But if {teacherId} ends up in the middle of the translation, it may look strange:

You’ve been invited by aTeacher to join the class:

@gunchleoc we’re in the middle of a pretty complete overhaul of the notifications system. We should be starting to have “{scratcher} loved your project {name}” strings soon. Probably starting with the activity feed, and then rolling out from there. Most of the educator registration flows are unique so this one will be handled separately.

How about leaving the design as is and simply changing the string to, “Your teacher has invited you to join a class”?
