Picking German as one of the more complete catalogs:

$ git grep -c "can't" po/de.po
po/de.po:12
$ git grep -c "cannot" po/de.po
po/de.po:63
$ git grep -c "can not" po/de.po
po/de.po:2

Does not seem like that policy is kept perfectly consistent.  On the
other hand, I have to admit being surprised that we use the
predominantly British spelling here while using "color" exclusively and
preferring "neighbor" over "neighbour" 3:1 and using "centre" almost
only in the translations.

I'll do the change soonish.
