Details:
An error message is created using 2 translated strings which is error prone
for translators:
This is the code from current git:
fatal (fstart, _("missing separator%s"),
(cmd_prefix == '\t' && !strneq (line, " ", 8))
? "" : _(" (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?)"));
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/tree/read.c#n1123
In fact it is wrong in the Italian translation:
"separatore %s mancante".
A least this needs a "translators" comment telling that the %s must be at the
end of the string.
A possible fix is using two different strings:
_("missing separator")
_("missing separator" (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?))
