342681 - Small issue: Translation mistake in one of the error pages (Spanish)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: es-ES / Spanish, defect)

Description

[OMA]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

One of the error pages in Spanish (Spain) version of Firefox has as mistake, since it includes the same sentence in Spanish and English:
___

Archivo no encontrado

Firefox no puede encontrar el archivo en /xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

    *   Compruebe que ha escrito correctamente las mayúsculas en el nombre del ficheroCheck the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.

    *   Compruebe que el fichero no haya sido movido, renombrado o eliminado.
___

As you can see there are two sentences (one in Spanish and the other in English) "merged" into one. The correct sentence should be something like: "Compruebe que ha escrito correctamente las mayúsculas en el nombre del fichero o cualquier otro error al teclear".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Get to that error message in Spanish (Spain) version of Firefox. That error appeared in my machine while having an incorect TEMP environment variable (it pointed to a non-existent hard disk drive, since I took that disk off the computer).
Actual Results:  
Got the above reproduced error message with that mistake in the translation.

Expected Results:  
A well translated error message ;)

...or even no error message at all! (see below suggestion in "Additional Information")

Apart from fixing that small mistake, maybe Firefox could be modified so if the user has a wrongly set "TEMP"/"TMP" variable (for example a non-existent "X:\Temp"), it falls back to a default C:\Temp or something like that, instead of showing an error message which doesn't even clue about having a wrong TEMP variable (I discovered that was the source of the problem after some fiddling).

Or maybe it would be enough to warn the user about having a TEMP variable pointing to an inexistent disk, instead of that generic "File not found" message, which doesn't help much to find what's the problem.

It has been a while since I last contacted with Andrés. I'm going to file a bug to request CVS access, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to commiting changes to CVS, and we (es-ES) are actually behind schedule.
