Looking at po/guix/*.po I can see a number of instances where the
copyright notice appears to have translated the word "Copyright"
to the target language.
This should not be done. The English word "Copyright" has legal meaning,
which is not always the case for the word in other languages.
Files affected include cs.po eo.po sr.po and vi.po - these need to be
fixed.
In fact, I suggest chaning the line in guix/ui.scm from:
(display (_ "Copyright (C) 2017 the Guix authors ..."))
to:
(format #t (_ "~a ~a the Guix authors ...") "Copyright" "2017")
