Done.

They are used to build a list of flags:
    for (i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
        if (pi->Status & (1<<i)) {
	    LoadStringA(COMDLG32_hInstance, PD32_PRINTER_STATUS_PAUSED+i,
			ResourceString, 255);
	    strcat(StatusMsg,ResourceString);
        }
    }

So in English you'd end up with something like this:

   Error; Paper jam;
or
   Initialising; Default Printer; I/O Active; 


So what you're saying is that:
 * There is no systematic conversion of semicolons to commas in 
   Slovenian.
 * In Slovenian the strings above should definitely use a comma 
   because it's used as a list separator.
 * The English string should maybe use a comma too? This may require 
   some supporting arguments...

Don't!

At least for Wine any issue in the English string should be fixed or 
reported so it can be fixed as early as possible (preferably before it 
has been translated into 20 other languages). Of course I'm saying that 
but being in string freeze we would not be able to fix strings right 
now. But if I saw such reports on wine-devel I'd make sure they are 
acted upon after the release.
