commands: do not split a translated string

Splitting the string after translation relies on the implicit
assumption that translators will always translate the English words
using single foreign words.

Also, when translating we want as much context as possible so I've
moved the string formatting into the translatable string.

    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()

while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
