You mean that say one month before the planned release of 1.9.99pre1 
you'll freeze the message strings, and will not accept any more 
changes to them?  That's okay.  Or do I misunderstand?

No problem for me.  I'd rather translate something multiple times 
than postpone simple improvements until a next release.

Well, yes, doing a pre3 now would be pushing it a bit.  :)  But if 
the Translation Project were more dependable (that is: reacting 
quickly), I would have said: go for it.

So if anyone has anymore proposals for improvements of the messages, 
they should send them soon, and not wait until the next release is 
nigh?
