HTML formatting should be removed from translation strings in general. Please only mark things as translatable which are normal sentences, not the formatting as well. <br> tags need no translation.
The same applies to list formatting with "- some list item". Please remove the "- " prefix from the string to be translated. It might be better to use <li> tags here (internally) instead of "- " as well.
Somebody who has to translate a string should only have to worry about the actual sentences/paragraphs of text, broken down into sensible portions. -

Report history
Thanks a lot, looking a lot better already.
Seems like the translations haven't been converted automatically, too, and are lost now, which is a pity. But this will be fixed in time.
There are a few rogue <br> tags left, though. I'd really recommend to get rid of all of them in the strings:
> Price: {cocoa}{wood}{gold}<br><br>...
> Boards: {board0}{board1}<br><br>...
Please completely remove any "<br>- " prefixes from the translation strings. <br> tags need no translation.
Only real language strings should be marked to be translated, no markup like HTML tags and prefix/suffix punctuation, bullet points, or other characters.
A list is here: boardgamearena.com/translation?module_id=1173&source_locale=en_US&dest_locale=en_US&find=%3Cbr%3E
