I noticed one instance of this while looking at the code the other day,
and after a quick grep, realized it happened a *lot*! One of the many
frustrating things about the English language is that we use apostrophes
to make pretty much everything possessive *except* the pronoun "it".
In that case, we use "its". "It's" is reserved for the contraction
meaning "it is" or "it has".
In the crash handling dialog there was a reference to an old email address.
This patch replaces it with the official one, taken from the 'configure.ac'
definition so it will not need manual update anymore.
The mail address is inserted in the string with a '%s' in order to not have
it in the translation files (po) to ease the maintainer's task in case of
future change.

In case of problem with a directory when building the list of files for the
Icon Chooser dialog, an error message was generated using a temporary
allocated buffer. This is not really good for memory fragmentation, so this
patch re-uses the local buffer which will be enough for all reasonable
cases.
Took opportunity to make message less prone to translation difficulties,
and include more information about the problem to the user so he may know
what went wrong.

As a previous patch modified some instances of the error message to include
more information to the user, it is a good idea to update also the other
uses of the message, so that:
- people helping on translation will have less messages to translate
- this mean we provide more information to the user in these places too,
which can help him solve the problem

The 'msgid' were updated to ensure gettext will find them, and the
translation have been updated too to stay in line with the message
(within the limits of google translate's help, because I don't speak all
these languages).

A recent patch removed the newlines from the default English legal text, as the
legal panel automatically wraps text so the newlines were unnecessary. In this
patch, they are removed from all .po files which contain a translation of the
legal text.
s/enviroment/environment/ both in the .c file and in all .po files that
already contain a translation for the string. The latter prevents
wrongly marking the translation as fuzzy.
A few internationalized format strings have only one %s in the default
while two strings are being passed. Change those defaults to have two
%s's, which means we also have to update the .po files to match. May as
well throw in the extra %s in the translated version while we're at it.
It was fun trying to translate them, but even after several
minutes of deep thoughts about the different cases etc I managed
to translate them wrongly.
So I thank Martin Dietze for kindly fixing them!
I wanted to learn some German and got curious to read the Window Maker
translations. After noticing that some strings with translations
were already removed from the main source I decided to recreate the
German .po file to get rid of those messages.
- updated german translation
- small fix for the selection code in WINGs (possible memleak)
- added support for the ukrainian language in wsetfont
