Dear friends,

Just a small remark about translation. The string "Create a new %s" cannot be 
translated into several languages.

1) In French, "new"  will be translated "nouveau", "nouvelle" or "nouvel". 
Writing "nouveau/nouvel/nouvelle" is tedious. Nearly all European languages, 
except English are impacted.

2) In some other languages, strings can be aggregated in a single word (like 
in Hungarian and German). Making the translation ***clearly*** impossible.

Therefore, "%s" should rarely be used, except for the integration of 
invariable strings.

3) Examples
-> working strings:
"Connected to database: %s"
"Username: %s"
"User \"%s\" was disconnected"

-> non-working strings:
"Click on the %s button"
"The thread was aborted because %s"
etc...

Just my 0.02 cents.
Cheers, Jean-Michel
