That would be great! I could not concentrate on coding because of my new
job (which will start next Monday) so the release with which we will
announce the string freeze have been delayed a bit. I think now is the
best time to get the strings right. I hope Martin agrees. Some
translators may have begun their work but it's still better to have good
original English and pay the price in some extra work. Now is the time
for comments if someone has something to say about this.

I don't know if you are already familiar with the code and strings
inside it. Probably the easiest way to find translatable strings is to
grep for tr(".
