Careful about changing that string - scripts may look for "gpg:" as a
marker of particular messages. (eg. for messages that might need to be
relayed to users)

Within error messages themselves, of course it is reasonable to use
French conventions about spacing, but I don't think it is a good idea
to change the marker at the start of the string.

Best wishes,
