At now the translation list contains about 10 strings with a %s too much
to translate. In the English text it's used to handle the use of "a" and
"an". I ignore it in the German translation and that runs fine, but don't
know if it may cause longterm trouble (not freeing allocated memory etc.).

If you can translate empty strings the problem can be solved clearly by
just splitting up the original string in two or three strings and
translate one of them as empty.
