You were right on both points:
1) All these error messages have a trailing full stop in English,
French and Japanese.
2) They also tend to be much more verbose than Wine's messages and
usually form a proper sentence.
I'm not going to fix point 2.
But I think point 1 can and should be fixed. The question is how to do
it without spending a month in the process or fuzzying all the existing
translations. It probably needs to be scripted somehow and then the
patch for both winerror.mc and the po files submitted? (or just submit
the patch for winerror.mc and the script?)
