Description P. Hamming 2012-03-10 14:07:12 MST

These strings cannot be translated, because of a lack of text.

: in src/error.c:82 an src/error.c:86
%s: %s in src/load_plugin.c:79
%s%s: %s in src/load_plugin.c:85

Those strings are marked as translatable based on the following text from http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Mark-Keywords

    For example, ‘"%s"’ is an example of string not requiring translation. But ‘"%s: %d"’ does require translation, because in French, unlike in English, it's customary to put a space before a colon.

If you are translating into a language that doesn't put a space in front of the colon then you can just leave those two strings as-is.
