I don't quite agree with the conclusion here, that developers are not to
blame at all. In my experience if developers would read the documentation on
i18n [1]in the developer guide, especially the part about

"Use comments"
"Never split sentences"
"Plurals"
"Avoid markup wherever possible"

and beside this add comments on sentences and words that are clearly
ambiguous in English (that they can know even if they don't know any other
languages) then we could easily avoid half(ish) the i18n-related bugs, and
then other half would seem like less of a burden during freeze. So I don't
really see any reason to change anything in the procedures.
