Agree. It is a nasty error display.
It just brought my eyes into this problem.

You are right. I'm just solving those cases where an abb. in one language is
better to have for the player, but not for the recorder nor every language.

Looking in the lang-files I can see:
  id: LANG_BUFFER_STAT_PLAYER
  eng: "Buf: %d.%03dMB"

 id: LANG_BUFFER_STAT_RECORDER
 eng: "Buffer: %d.%03dMB"

Here we/someone felt that the english language needed two versions (and
different code). I guess this is the case for every language we support and
that my suggestion would be the easiest help in those obvious cases.
