[GRASS-dev] String standardization

[Jachym Cepicky]

I raise my hand for all translators! 

 cat grassmods_cs.po|grep open|grep raster
 msgid "Cannot open raster map"
 msgid "error opening raster map [%s]."
 msgid "Unable to open raster map [%s]"
 msgid "Unable to open raster map [%s] in [%s]"
 msgid "Unable to open raster map [%s]."
 msgid "%s: %s - Unable to open the input raster map\n"
 msgid "Cannot open raster map [%s]"
 msgid "Unable to open raster map <%s>"
 msgid "<%s> unable to open raster file"
 msgid "%s - can't open raster file"
 msgid "Can't open raster file %s"
 msgid "Cannot open terrain raster map <%s@%s>!"
 msgid "Cannot open raster file [%s]!"
 msgid "can't open raster file [%s] needed for input coordinates"
 msgid "%s - can't open raster map"
