[i18n] [Bug 462578] Printing dialog: untranslated hint and error message for page selection

I've started to set up my environment to translate Qt so I'll make the changes.
There are a lot of other strings not translated and I probably won't have time
to do all of them so I'll see if I can provide a partial translation for now.

I also personally prefer "valide" but according to
https://fr.l10n.kde.org/dict/#divers, we should use "valable". I'm not sure
since when the rule is there and what is the reason behind but it could be
discussed with the French translation list if needed.

* Ubuntu uses "plage de numéros"
* Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat use "étendue de pages"

Ok for "suite de pages"
