Yeah, so?

This looks ok - I would expect a space after the number before the spelt-out 
(er, partly spelt-out) word "minute".

I don't know about this one, though - what does SI (the metric system) say 
about this? I'd expect to see 30s, just like 12kg and the like. As for any 
error, that's probably because %1s is a C-format string specifier (meaning a 
one-character wide string) (see man printf). I think gettext is just being 
stupid here.
