Public bug reported:

There are some small i18n problems in add-apt-repository:
- some parentheses are misplaced around translatable strings
- strings with multiple %s's are not using named arguments, so they are not reorderable. To properly translate, I'd like to reorder them. 
- there is no textdomain set, so gettext doesn't know where to look for the strings
- strings in the output of --help are not marked for translation. They also need to workaround optparser's lack of utf8 awareness.
- the big usage help text should be broken up into smaller pieces to make its translation easier to maintain.

I'll attach a branch for most of these, but I couldn't figure out how to
solve everything of the above, so it's still going to need some work.
