O.P. Little English Mistake
In the recovery window, Plus uses the word "softwares", when it should be "software"... software in english is like water, measured quantitively.  It should also read "prevents other software from running properly".

Thanks, I learnt a bit more about the french grammatical structure from finding that :)

Also, in the Preferences window, at the notifications section, the title is
Ways to get notified of your contacts activities.

Change contacts to contacts'
(activities of the contacts) :)

In the word filter it says "This feature has two main purposes:" it should say: "This feature has two main purposes;"

Doesnt really... it is a LITTLE more exact. Technically, both work, look's more professional though.

Also, in the Plus! Enhanced contact list, the popup menu for the plus icon should read "Leave a message for contact..." and not 'to contact'.

No it doesn't. A ":" must be there, not a ";".

";" is used when two sentences are almost the same; if the second sentence gives an alternative or something slightly more specific to the first sentence. And when used, the second sentence begins without a capital letter...

":" is used when you want to sum up something...

Technically, only ":" is correct.... ";" would be wrong.

RE: Little English Mistake
Yay, CookieRevised is indeed correct. Semicolins are generally for new sentences. "modify messages you send and modify messages you receive" is not a complete sentence. This could be rewritten as "modify messages you send and receive" though :)

However, I found another small mistake. In the Contact List Cleanup, the wording at the top should be "... Use it to find contacts you do not chat with..." (no "out").
