  suppose one of the translators made a mistake and updated with a 
wrong string from somewhere else replacing it with

   "Erreur de securite %s"

for example due to a cut and paste mistake, it's better to see the
%s out than have the application crash, right ;-) ?

Of couse this can happen with formats embedding '%s' but that's just
another argument to use "%s" in my book.

  Feels safer to me, really.

  Thanks :-)
