As I said on the channel, it's a network name.

I think that would change the message id, and thus break
string freeze. So, no.

Yes, this is a typo in the original string. Again, fixing
it is sadly not possible right now.

An error message from a socket class in kdelibs.

The "..." indicates that the menu item opens a dialog.

No, status bar messages are not capitalized that way.

It means that %1 (a nickname or a IRC hostmask) was not
found on the ignore list, and just can't be removed from
it.

414: Sender; recipient; message.
417: Sender; message.

%1 is a nickname. The string is part of WHOIS display.
