[Localization] update1/sugar.po: "Error in specified radio argument..."

Hello,

Here a question concerning the following string that we find in the file 
sugar.po:

"Error in specified radio argument use on/off."

As far as I remember, this string follows the command:
  sugar-control-panel -s radio ...

Who will execute the command sugar-control-panel in the field ? The kids, the 
teacher, of an admin? Depending of this information, the translation may be 
slighty different.

Assuming that the recipients are the kids, who will configure their XO, 
eventually  via a GUI, I suggest following translation (for instance in 
French): 

"L'argument après 'radio' est incorrect. Utiliser 'on' ou 'off'."

If this command is exclusively accessible via the terminal, we may have a 
shorter formulation:
"L'argument radio spécifié est incorrect. Utiliser on/off."

Thank you for your comments

Samy
