Unfortunately, this wouldn't work because there are far less languages 
that have the translated stylesheet -- I don't remember seeing any 
special instructions for translators in the Yelp repository, so I have 
missed to translate that -- the same is probably with many other 
translators.


Because of that, this would still constitute a string freeze break.


Of course, it would be great if this procedure was followed for the 
2.4.1 release, because the entire idea of intltools was to put every 
string that needs translation into the PO file (including XML files).

Actually, I believe that entire XSLT stylesheet should be made to use 
intltools (make it a style.xml.in, and preprocess it while building/
compiling the package -- just like every other package does for schemas 
and stuff). If nobody disagrees, I'll file this as a bug with bugzilla.
