In formal written English you use do not, will not, and cannot.
I've found another british-american issue with the word authorise.

This doesn't change the meaning of the string, so all the translations
(hopefully) just need to be unfuzzied.

But, in written language these shortcuts are consided casual and they
are not used in formal texts, AFAIK. That's why I use this in emails,
but not in the user interface of a program.
Do we have any native English speakers here?

Hi Andre
Ok, understood. Only thing is, that in Launchpad I cannot see whether it
is a MessageFormat or not. So I have to trust the original text to be in
correct format, haven't I?
