I can imagine, thanks for fast-tracking this one!

I don't think there is a problem - it appears in the pot file
generated by the Ubuntu package. It's just a question of how to get it
translated.

Yes, you can approve it if you like.

Good. Translators - please send me an merged and updated po file as
per my original email. So far I only have Spanish and Swedish.

For future releases, what we'll have to do (subject to any better
ideas) is to start from the upstream po file, import that into Rosetta
and replace these directly with the complete po files exported from
Rosetta. Any updates to the upstream translations that happen during
the process should be manually uploaded into Rosetta, which will merge
the relevant strings (I hope).
