Ahh.. I see
Thanks for explaining.
This should make it so your translation strings can be used:

        * src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
        header string.  Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
        same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
        Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.
