Perhaps a known issue ...

Example: in file history (detached tab), if I click on a file that is no longer available, two error message windows are opening here, one error message window that is related to this string

Opening '%s' failed:\n \n
%s

and another error message window that is related to this string

Could not open '%s' for reading: %s

On the first error window everything is ok. On the second error window the ending %s is not tranlate-able (in my example it says "No such file or directory"), because it is hardcoded in one of these two files, either libwmf-0-2-7.dll and/or libxml2.dll. Apparently these files holds other error messages too. The string "No such file or directory" is not present in any of my .po files.

Am I missing something ? All of the above are on Win32, GIMP 2.4.5.

Then you should file bug reports against these libraries and make sure that they provide translated error messages. That is not our business.
