 The top item for the Favorite menu sometimes relies on the following
 string: "New %s", where %s can be any form post_type.

 This does not work for some languages other than English. For instance in
 French, Article (Post) is masculine but requires "Nouvel" instead of the
 normal translation "Nouveau"; Page and Catégorie are feminine, and
 therefore require "Nouvelle".

 Since there also exist proper translations for each media type, this can
 turn into screens that feature both the wrong generated string, followed
 by the correct translation. See attached screenshot for fr_FR when in /wp-
 admin/edit.php .
 (the whole uppercase/lowercase issue is another thing altogether :) )

 Guilty string is in wp-admin/includes/template.php at line 3325, in
 favorite_actions().
