Does this implies translations for desktopguide and other -guides? If
not, what is exact time when strings will get pulled? I won't be able
to finish desktopguide till tomorrow 8AM, but I'm pretty sure I can get
it done by 11PM (with a little help from my friends).

Oh, no. In my language, upstream provides very wrong translations.
Every package we translate via LP gets couple of strings changed. In
some packages we have to change _a lot_ of translated strings. With new
upstream, these changes get ignored? This is too much double work for
us.
