This is in general a very bad timing to do such a thing (string change
announcement is there to make it harder for you to do any string
changes, so you'd avoid them if not really necessary: there are no
shortcuts such as "quite a lot of string changes", you need to list
them all; otherwise, there's no use in string change announcement,
since you can simply announce that there are 200 string changes in
evolution).

Especially if you forget to add all of these files to
evolution/po/POTFILES.in (run "intltool-update -m" inside evolution/po
to get report about that).

I'll try to migrate all of these translations once POTFILES.in problem
is resolved (I don't want to lose translations because of files not in
there, and I don't know if it's safe to simply 
"cat missing >>POTFILES.in"; difference is around 110 strings in
these "missing" files).
