[Martin v. Loewis]

I'm forwarding this to the French translator, Michel Robitaille.
Michel, can you please correct these errors and submit a new catalog?

Because the messages are not marked c-format, and use format
specifiers that are not supported in C. I think the only option is to
implement a custom checker, as a post processor.
