I understand that this is critical for you guys to communicate clearly
to the user and get sensible data, so +1 from translations.

Depending on the state of the translations imports queue in Launchpad,
I'm not sure if there will be time to translate at all, but I guess in
this particular case it's better to have an untranslated message than no
message at all.

If you could squeeze this into the same upload as the other string
freeze request, it would be great.

Cheers,
David.
