You cannot combine two sentences by changing a period to a comma. I guess the closest grammatically 
correct string would be "It is unsafe to open \"%s\": it could potentially..."

So how do we proceed, since we're now in string freeze?
Comment 2 Adam Weinberger 2005-08-10 08:34:58 UTC 
menthos? What would you recomend? A head's up mail to gnome-i18n? A plea for permission to releng? 
What's the proper procedure at this point?
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2005-08-10 09:27:25 UTC 
I asked for approval on gnome-i18n/release-team, got it and a fix was checked
in. It now says

"It is unsafe to open \"%s\" as it could potentially damage your documents or "
"invade your privacy. You can download it instead."
