Somewhere you have to draw the line for the feature package you want to 
deliver in version X. One exception has been done already, when will the 
next exception be dealt with?

And that's alot.

And they should not be rushed.

I have no personal opinion in this. If Swedish is not done it's not done 
and I do blame LXDE for bringing me untranslated software. In this case I 
would be the translator and I will do what I can to do the translations 
but I will most probably not have the time to do the appropriate changes.

I would guess that Transifex has no problem at all with them, but that's 
my guess. Pootle will have no problem at all, that's for sure. I work on 
master with that setup.

Can you elaborate on the problem that you have seen? If I can write 
documentation to ease the work for people working with the translation I 
would be happy to lend a hand.

I concur. This change is not that great and will not change to much of the 
experience any way.

Do a point release with the new strings and do not rush things at this 
time.
