No, no, the string

	%1s

is detected by whatever-bit-of-gettext-is-responsible as a C format string - 
which is quite reasonable, it _is_ a valid way of producing one-character 
wide string output. If you translate it as

	%1 s

following the guidelines of the SI (as noted elsewhere in this thread) then 
the C format is broken. The source string should be changed to 

	%1 s 

as well, and/or the string marked as non-C-format. The same goes for the 
string %1min, although 'm' isn't a valid printf-style format string modifier 
in the printf manpage I checked.
