Re: po: Fix some trailing ellipses errors in Catalan translation

I intentionally left the ellipse off of the word "Imprimeix" in
Internet Explorer so that the text would fit on the toolbar button.
Any suggestions?

The ellipses are important. 'Print...' tells the user that a dialog will 
be opened where he will be asked for details and have the oportunity to 
cancel before the print job is actually launched. 'Print' on the other 
hand means the print job will be sent right away to the default printer.

So the ellipses can never be removed or added in translations.


So the solution is to tweak the dialog to make the button larger. Given 
that in French that translation is 'Imprimer...', such a change would 
probably be beneficial there too.

The ellipsis is a standard "naming convention" for button labels which
present another dialog to the user, so the ellipsis needs to stay.
The size issue occurs in many (most?) languages (checked 4 of them),
so this would probably need larger icons anyway.
