+1 to the patch, but I wonder what translators will make of errors like
the one above, particularly since the po file gives them almost no
context to work with.
I wonder what end users speaking english will make of the original
error message two! Not much. At best its unique enough that someone
can grep for the corresponding line in the source code & figure out
what's wrong. Not much help on its own though.
