Hum, big deal. In some cases we wouldn't translate it, or we would use
colon. I had a conversation about this with our previous coordinator,
Serrador, when I was translating the documentation for some module.

The problem is that now I can't tell you in which cases we would
translate it and in which ones we would use the colon. I'll try to get
more info.
