Original: ⌘0 Postings from any of these non-members will be

In several strings about "non-members", the sentence beginning "Add
member addresses one per line" still occurs. It should probably be
changed, in those strings, to "Add non-member addresses one per
line".
The other strings are:
.po:830

Original: ⌘0 Postings from any of these non-members will be
immediately\n
and automatically held for moderation by the list moderators.

Here you create two strings to show plural forms:
po:892
reference: ⑤ Mailman/
Original: ⌘0 <em>(1 private member not shown)</em>
.po:893
reference: ⑤ Mailman/
Original: ⌘0 <em>(%(
</em>
but this is not effective for translation.
The gettext plurals feature makes it possible for translators to input
the correct number of plurals for their language. English may need two
forms, singular and plural, but my language is one of several which
have _no_ plural forms in this sense, and there are European languages
which have more than two forms. If you don't use the gettext plurals
feature, we can't translate those strings effectively.
Gettext will output the correct number of plurals fields for each
language, by parsing the plurals string in the PO file header.
In my case, that will avoid me inputting the same translation twice in
several places in this file. In the case of languages with more plural
forms than English, it will avoid incomplete translations or translations
that simply don't make sense.
Please see the gettext manual for further information:

gettext.html#SEC150

HTMLFormatter.
Original: ⌘0 also
po:908
reference: ⑤ Mailman/
Original: ⌘0 This is %(also)sa private list, which means that the\n
list of members is not available to non-members.
This is likely to cause errors in translation. Although it means
translating six strings instead of three, we can cut and paste most of
the string, and we can be sure, that way, of correct translations. Please
don't take short-cuts on translation, unless you are sure they will not
affect the quality of the translation.

Original: ⌘0 Rebuild a list's archive.\n
\n
<snip>
-e M\n
--end=M\n
End indexing at article M. This script is not very efficient
with\n
respect to memory management, and for large archives, it may
not be\n
possible to index the mbox entirely. For that reason, you can
specify\n
the start and end article numbers.\n
\n
Where <mbox> is the path to a list's complete mbox archive. Usually
this
will\n
There seems to be something missing here, between "the start and end
article numbers" and "Where <mbox> is the path", because "where" in
this context is a conjunction, joining a previous statement to this one.
However, there is a full stop and two line breaks in between, indicating
a statement well and truly finished. What is missing here?
