"Features" is a verb the way the phrase appears at the moment: "YouTube
Features" and "Vimeo Features".

This grates on me because the capital letter strongly misleads the
reader into interpreting "Features" as the plural noun.

It's awkward no matter what you do. I would suggest "Featured on Vimeo"
and "Featured on YouTube", etc. That make it unambiguous as to whether
we are talking about the verb or the noun. It can only be the verb with
that wording.

Title:
  "%s Features" needs translator comment

Status in Ubuntu Translations:

Bug description:
  "%s Features"
  ../src/videoaggregatorquery.cpp:130

  It's not clear what's in the placeholder or if "Features" is 3rd
  person present tense of a verb, or a noun.

  Also, is this "features" in the sense of software features, or in the
  sense of featuring something in a promotional context?

  Please add a translator comment.
