David is not a Pidgin developer, and he is a little bit confused about
the situation.
Unfortunately, 2.7.2 was rushed out due to an unintentional disclosure
of a security-related bug before its official disclosure date. Due to
this, it does not contain any updated translations (or, indeed a
number of other fixes). We still plan to release 2.7.3 on 2.7.2's
previous schedule, which *will* contain updated translations.
It is my understanding (someone, please correct me if I am mistaken)
that the Windows NSIS strings are now in the .po file, and if you have
updated it, the installer will be translated for 2.7.3.

Again, I believe you have misunderstood the situation; see my other
email. :-)
