Hi,
  I'm testing and debugging my translation on the inkscape-0.47pre2 version and I found the following:
  When I apply a filter to an object, say "Wrinkled varnish", the menu option appears correctly translated as "Barniz arrugado", but when I select the object, on the status bar I see the description of the object, for example: "Elipse; filtrado (Wrinkled varnish) en capa Capa 1. Pulse......". As you see, the name of the filter does not appear translated here.
  I think it's this segment in the po file: the second "%s" is not getting the correct string.
============================
#: ../src/sp-item.cpp:1065
#, c-format
msgid "%s; <i>filtered (%s)</i>"
msgstr "%s; <i>filtrado (%s)</i>"
============================

  Should I open a bug report?

  Thanks,
