Hi David,

This was an oversight on my part, for which I apologize now. I was under the
impression that the old "System Testing" string had been reused for this
screen. On closer analysis based on your comments, I see that indeed a new
string has been added, this was needed because, as you can see, the frame
where the string resides is on the right side of the banner and the words
appear in separate lines.

So I need to amend my request to both -translators and -doc to state "One new
string has been added". I rebuilt the .pot file on my tree and this is the new
string:

#: ../qt/frontend/ui_qtfront.h:635
msgid ""
"System \n"
"Testing"
msgstr ""

Also based on testing with slighly longer translatons from other languages, I
reduced the font size so those strings fit.

Thanks and apologies for the last-minute changes!
