"Cannot specify both button_width/button_height and aspect ratio for buttons"

If "button_width" and "button_height" are not to be translated, they must be quoted; same for aspect ratio. Is this a message for the end user, or is it a debug message? If it's a debug message, maybe it should not be translated, should it?
Comment 1 Thomas Thurman 2008-10-28 23:20:20 UTC 
It's a message for theme developers; do they count as end users?
Comment 2 Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle 2008-10-28 23:44:59 UTC 
Oh, then I _believe_ they would prefer the message to be translated.

But I'm still sure button_height shouldn't be translated to altura_do_botão :D So it would be better to enclose the names in double quotes:
