There are more of them, and I totally agree that it should only be full 
sentences in one and the same string to make it possible to translate it 
correctly. Sometimes variables also gives weird results (can give you 
examples if this is not known).

To the same (internationalisation): Some of the fields where also to 
small to fit the whole translated santence, at best they should have 
unlimited length (or, at least, permit also long sentences).
