Please run this against the current 3.3 translations from the Translation
Project site and send the error reports to the relevant language teams.
That way they can get to work on fixing the problems immediately (they'll
need to fix them manually at some point anyway), and some of the fixes
might even get into 3.3.1. <http://gcc.gnu.org/translation.html> has
information on the TP site and contacting language teams.
