Looks OK to me.

The translation teams are using compendium techniques to cope with
identical messages that occur in different packages. (Similar sentences
are "Report bugs to ...", "Try `%s --help' for more information.\n" etc.)
There is a translation domain 'error' for error.c at
http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=index
but since no package is distributing the translated PO files for
this domain, in the end it is not installed on the users' machines.
Which makes it quite useless.
