Some new strings are not consistent with the actual set.

For instance, in the "Could not ..." strings were all with capitals, and some new ones are not. Last time, I remarked strings which were almost exactly the same (only difference was a final dot, if I remember). Some help strings were mixing different styles.

Some strings may be difficult to translate in some languages. We need a first set of commits to correct these errors, before updating the translations. In a longer term, a style/i18n guideline and checker would be very useful.

My two cents.
