OK, I have one quick question about this (Jan, are you listening? :-), then
I'll fix the rest and submit a patch.

If I have the original line as:

$html .= sprintf(_("<br /><b>Heading:</b> %s inches"), $v);

should the %s values (I forget the name of these) be translated? In other
words, which is correct:

$html .= sprintf("<br /><b>"._("Heading:")."</b> %s "._("inches"), $v);

or

$html .= sprintf("<br /><b>"._("Heading:")."</b> "._("%s inches"), $v);

Thanks in advance
