Thanks to you and Jean-Luc for the suggestions!  Cvs now has two  
separate format strings for the unclear case, and comments for  
all related strings requesting that "Face" not be translated.   
Also "Error loading face: %s" has been made case-consistent with  
the other strings.

We appreciate the efforts of the translators, and really don't go  
out of our way to make their task difficult!

With regards, and best wishes for the holidays,
