Thanks for looking into improving this. Please put commas after "e.g.". Also, I suggest removing "abbreviated", and simplifying the translator's job by simply interpolating the human. E.g.:

-h, --human-readable  print sizes in powers of 1024 (e.g., 1023M)\n\
-H, --si              print sizes in powers of 1000 (e.g., 1.1G)\n\
