No long right, the translation may be updated.

Intended, don't know why.

Translation mistake, I noticed the same for the german translation and
corrected it so the strings fit on the screen at least in 800x600.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you send us the string shown? I can tell
you wheter it's german for sure but more important grep for it.

I'll check later.

I can't confirm that one.

What do you mean by too long?

I couldn't find it, but at least the translation for gettext support as
start message is german because it's german in the fr.po.

Update the translation.

There's no translation provided so the fallback is english.

That must be corrected by a french. ;-)

Please be more specific here.

Correct the translation.

That's a debug message which will probably vanish sometime in the
future. We'll need something better for identifying demos.

Since quite a few are as simple as updating the translation, no. :-)
