I recently tweaked some IDE resource strings so that quotation mark
(") is now hard-coded in the string instead of passed as a %s
parameter.
It reduced the number of %s parameters and eliminated long sequences
like %s%s%s%s which were difficult to translate and required reading
the source code.

I did not anticipate error messages. Less params are passed now and
they should well fit in the old parameter lists although in wrong
places.
Anyway, the solution is to fix the fuzzy translations. The changes are
only in the parameter lists and our PoChecker will find any remaining
mismatches. Patches that fix it will be accepted. (eg. In case the
official translation maintainer is busy).
Sorry for the inconvenience. This change creates more work in short
term but makes things easier in long term.

  Resource strings and newline

Hard-coding line endings is still an open issue.
