[Scilab-loc] wrong type or wrong size?

[Vincent COUVERT]

Hi,

Yes Pierre is right, the message has to be changed (type or size) 
according the user input.

However, in the function which produces this error, if the input type is 
checked before the input size, the user may not be confused by error 
messages.
