Eek! I just pushed it to trunk yesterday, so the new pot files are in
Rosetta. It can still be reverted, but let's see if we can handle it.
The new strings, as far as locales are concerned, are more suggestions
than anything else. In that respect, there is very little delta
between them and the current strings that _needs_ to be acted upon in
locales. We could stick with the current translations and be happy.

Of course, that isn't always so easy since we have to match up the
translations to the new source strings.
Don't worry, it's absolutely my fault, so I'll see about doing this
myself in the next day :)


Thanks,
