Don't know about the fuzzy, I didn't touch that.

Well lib/gis/error.c, l 360ff define:

     prefix_std[0] = "";
     prefix_std[1] = _("WARNING: ");
     prefix_std[2] = _("ERROR: ");

so I guess the translation should also have the colon and space. We 
could do something like this:

     char *postfix
     postfix = ": "
     prefix_std[0] = "";
     prefix_std[1] = _("WARNING%s", postfix);
     prefix_std[2] = _("ERROR%s", postfix);

But then again, maybe there are different rules of how to position 
colons and spaces according to locales.
