  There have been a lot of changes to R, but with this amount of
information it's almost impossible to say anything -- is there any
chance you could provide (1) a reproducible example (see
http://tinyurl.com/reproducible-000 for hints) (2) the results of
sessionInfo() (to tell us what versions of packages you're using) (3)
the results of "traceback()" after you get the error?  I can't find any
instance of "sprintf(gettext" in the lme4 package code, but that only
suggests (not guarantees) that the proximal problem is in one of the
other packages you're using.
