Right. The word order of Japanese translation of the complete sentence would 
be something like "following conditions meeting pictures your collection 
search" so it would look weird if the first part is visually emphasized. I can 
workaround the problem by translating the sentence as two independent messages 
(title and description) but I'd prefer to show the original message simply in 
one line. 

If it will be displayed in two lines with different styles, please remember to 
include markup tags in i18n calls so translators can control them. Italicizing 
and small font size are not suitable for Japanese characters.

Thanks.

Yukiko
