https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationStringFreeze

We are now at the point where we freeze activities that create and/or
modify strings in Documentation. This freeze allows the documentation to
be translated.

Exceptions may be made before release, on the following grounds:

* Major glaring typos
* Exceptional circumstances

A string change must be discussed (and approved) on the mailing list
(see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Contact). If a string is
changed after the freeze, it must be communicated to the translators (by
writing to the ubuntu-translators mailing list) with enough time to
update the translations before the translation freeze.

After release, any fixes must comply with the StableReleaseUpdates
procedure (and are therefore acceptable in extremely limited
circumstances, as prescribed by that page), and where necessary must be
accompanied by translations before uploading.
