Re: Patch to reduce the number of messages to translate

By replacing type names we are creating a potential confusion.
A translator who is not familiar with the code may translate
type names like "long" or "integer".

I am for leaving the strings as they are. Translators are
copy+paste then edit the messages anyways.

Best regards,
Nicolai
