Translators: Ready, steady, GO!

[Pasi Lallinaho]

It's okay for translators to use this kind of freedom and consideration
when translating the slideshow. The only thing that needs to remain the
same is the core message and the application names (or other UI labels).

FWIW, the English text is done for this cycle, so unless there are major
mistakes, we won't be changing it for 14.04.

Cheers,
Pasi
