You're right. The Rosetta hackers are working on this bug. Should be
fixed quite soon.

These "do-not-use" templates are unfortunate, and should be avoided
entirely. Carlos will grant me permission to fix them very soon, and
hopefully they will be rarely seen again. For now, I think the only
answer is to hold any gaim 1.5 translation, just in case they get lost.

This is related to my other replies. Fixes are being worked on, sorry.

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+sources/language-selector/+pots/language-selector
for example

The desktop strings were added to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTranslations
but I think it's too late for Breezy now. Translate them just in case.
If not for breezy, they will appear in Dapper in any case.

Re menu items: which ones? If they are not covered by the wiki page,
they should be in either gnome-menus or gnome-panel.

Thanks,
Jordi
