Thank you Samuel, this one does work!
I understand the verbosity issue (it's the age of SMS's and WhatsApp's).
However, the "orthogonality", in spite of being a good idea to avoid
many instances of similar messages, would be really useful if some way
to combine short messages did exist. But I'm afraid it is a very hard
problem since the way things combine in different languages may be quite
different, particularly word order.

Dear All,
I try to get this error message translated:
msprintf(gettext("%s: Argument #%d: Vector expected.\n"),
"bandfilter", 1)
Any idea of what's wrong?
The long historical form is
gettext("%s: Wrong size for argument #%d: Vector expected.\n")
When some students or colleagues ask me for help, i have noticed that
quite often they did not really read the error message, and i wondered
why.
Often, IMO error messages are uselessly verbosy. This is why i proposed
a series of shorter, more straightforward, and more orthogonal ones.
