 Please don't use unnecessary abbreviations in messages. Please spell out
 things like "environment" when possible. This will make things more clear
 both for users and translators. See
 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#language
 for more information about this type of problem.

+The same is true for "caps":
+
+#: gst/gsterror.c:77
+msgid "Internal GStreamer error: caps problem.  File a bug."
+
+#: gst/elements/gsttypefind.c:149
+msgid "caps"
+
+#: gst/parse/grammar.y:621
+#, c-format
+msgid "could not parse caps \"%s\""
+
+
+It took me quite a while to figure out that "caps" was some odd
+abbreviation for "capabilities". No idea how the ordinary translator
+is supposed to know that. Please use the full word
+"capability"/"capabilities".
