Thanks! :)

Thanks for spotting and reporting this, it's now fixed (no translation
changes needed).

Indeed, that's not good.  We won't fix this for this release because it
would mean breaking some translations, but we definitely should fix this
for the next release.

At your translator level, you should fix this for your language.  This
won't get lost, when we change the string all you'll have to do is check
the translation and unmark it fuzzy.

I'm not sure this is clearer, and I feel the one with "open" is fine
(but maybe it's because I know what it means… not sure).

Yeah, here yours is definitely better.

Sounds like a good idea, at least adding "in Geany" to the first one.
But I mist say that the current wording "Open Externally" was a bit
tricky for me to translate in French.  Although I think in English it
makes some kind sense, I had to reword it heavily in French (basically,
to "Open in an external application"), which doesn't sound perfect
maybe, but seems clearer.
