Thanks for reporting this, and to all of you for the discussion.

I/we discussed this when translating it.

The problem is that 'advise(-snap)' is used like a verb, but is also the
name of a command.  This means when we translate it, we need to choose
either a proper translation (i.e., a verb), or we need to keep the name
of the command, which is of course case sensitive.

However we (translators) are normally content in knowing that the
translation contains the same information as the original string.  So we
may choose either.  It is actually somewhat surprising that the code
performs this check.  Does anybody know why?  I suspect that the current
translation is okay, and therefore should not be cause for warning (at
least not to the user).
