Same here for Icelandic, we have three genders ;-)

Also if %1 is something like "Artist", "Genres", "Files", and "Radios" 
as suggested, then there should be a way of translating those in 
lower-case, because capitalization inside a sentence is a no-go in 
Icelandic, unless it's a proper name.
If there are only capitalized strings on offer, then I'd be forced to 
translate the msgid to equivalent of "No '%1'-class found" or "No record 
for '%1' found" (which sounds awful, right?).

Best,
