The string "None" does not have enough context and can lead to wrong
translations, as the word or even the gender may differ for each one.
This change also will invalidate the current translation.

The code fragment where it is used is included as reported in other
thread:

Hi!

The first patch changes "None" usages, but it invalidates the current
translations.  Feel free to push these three together with the one for
German when you have it ready.

Happy hacking!
Miguel
