the real problem is: is the change correct? I didn't find it obviously
correct from looking at the patch and haven't found time yet to verify
it. It would help if plug-in authors would continue to maintain their
source but obviously that is not the case for most plug-ins. Have you
contacted the maintainer for this plug-in at all?

If the change is correct, it should of course go into 1.2 since it's
a bugfix then.

I do give a shit and inform the translators about the changes in time so 
they can update their translations. Now, go and have your language checked.
