I found some strings that I think are not marked for translation: 1. "No such file or directory" When open a non-existing file.

2. "Scale is at maximum" In a Gnuplot graph:

Dear Allin, today I'm back to work (bye bye holiday!) and I'm looking again at this issue. Testing on Windows Vista I'm getting the same untranslatable message.

Dear Allin, sorry for the delay in answering your message! Just to remember you, I was talking about the untranslated message "No such file or directory" when we try to open a non-existing file. take a look at the picture attached. As you can see, my Windows PC is configured with the Portuguese option.

Can anyone else on Windows, running gretl in a language other than English, comment on this? We're talking about the OS message, "No such file or directory", which is emitted when opening a file fails. One should be able to provoke it by doing /File/Open data/User file in the gretl GUI, and typing in the name of a nonexistent file. The question is: is the error message translated or not?
