[a bit unsure on if this is maybe better for r-package-devel]

We recently added translations to messages at the R and C level to
data.table.

At the C level, we did _() wrapping for char arrays supplied to the
following functions: error, warning, Rprintf, Error, and snprintf.

This seemed OK but the use of snprintf specifically appears to have caused
a crash on Windows:

Is there any guidance against using gettext with snprintf, or perhaps
guidance on which "outputters" *are* OK for translation?
