I'm creating a dutch translation of Mailman (as I already have a partly translated Mailman installation (2.0b2-based) to start with) but I ran into
Great to hear about a Dutch translation! I was about to start it myself... if you need a hand... take mine!
msgid "Creating archive directory "
The extra space after the 'directory' suggests, to me, that Mailman will append the directory name. In Dutch, the best translation would be
msgstr "Maak archief directory %(directory)s aan."
How about: "Bezig met aanmaken van archief directory "
Ah... the fine art of translation, word order and grammar ;)

Yeah, that's why I said I could work around *this* one :) I'm pretty sure the same won't hold for other languages, though, or for other translatable strings, so the issue still stands ;)
