[Savannah-dev] Text conventions and localization

[Vincent Caron]

Hello,

  I've made a few typo fixes in the CERN branch. That raised some 
questions/proposal to me :

- should the ending punctuation like a simple dot '.' be included in the 
localized string or not ? I have encountered both situation.

- what is the impact of typo fixing in the localization work ? Should we 
help identify those fixes for the translaters or gettext is clever 
enough to help them ?

- I suggest to avoid 'verbal' contractions like "we'll" or "we'd"

- I suggest to always have a blank before a colon, ie. "Value :" rather 
than "Value:"
