Philip,

There is usually a utility that needs to be run which examines and extracts
all the strings from the source code and then examines the .ts file and
updates line numbers, etc.  It does a merge which means new strings are
added and existing ones are not destroyed.  Because we haven't done a
string freeze, that utility hasn't been run which means the source code
strings are newer than the ones in the .ts file.  But, I just see that
Torsten has checked in a changeset to update the strings
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e036b96133ec) so everything
should be fine now.
