R help - May 2024 - Description of error is untranslated when R_XLEN_T_MAX is exceeded by only 1 element.

Hello everyone
When asking to create sequence longer than 2^48 (which is forbidden) the
same error message appears translated and untranslated depending on whether
R_XLEN_T_MAX is reached or exceeded
while not an error o problem beyond that of the untranslated text, i find
this weird. ?could it be fixed in any manner?

R_XLEN_T_MAX <- 4503599627370496
> length(1:(R_XLEN_T_MAX - 1))
[1] 4.5036e+15
> length(1:(R_XLEN_T_MAX + 0))
Error: result would be too long a vector
> length(1:(R_XLEN_T_MAX + 1))
Error en 1:(R_XLEN_T_MAX + 1): el resultado seria un vector muy largo

The last is the same as the second, but translated into spanish.

I track the messages to be coded here:
https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn/blob/abe625945c4402cd2bb97b5a64e7469db3e904f0/src/main/altclasses.c#L580
and

Typo: *2^48  should be 2^52

Dear Ricardo Villalba,

Thank you for spotting this corner case!

You may have noticed that one of these places lacks the underscore that
R uses as the translation keyword: it's _(string) that looks up the
translation of the string.

Would you like to suggest a patch on R-devel at r-project.org or
https://bugs.r-project.org ?
