Users who customized their workspace shortcuts before updating to
GNOME 40 are experiencing troubles when trying to use the same
keybinding for the horizontal shortcuts, because of hidden conflicts
with the vertical ones.
We can address this by registering the old shortcuts with Settings
without showing them in the UI, so that they are taken into account
by Settings' conflict resolution.

Given that GNOME has used a vertical workspace layout ever since 3.0,
allowing users to assign keyboard shortcuts for horizontal workspace
navigation isn't useful at all, as rightfully pointed out by Bastien
Nocera.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...
