And it isn't at all important to have any of these strings translated 
in "todays beta release"? :-(

Yikes, but the string freeze is there just for that purpose -- to have 
a chance to get all the strings translated (even in beta releases), so 
users of those beta release could also report omissions in translations 
of strings.


If you don't care about the translation (which, unfortunately, seems to 
be the case), that's why there's the established protocol one must 
follow -- ask release team *and* translators if it's ok to add them.


I have already updated these strings for Serbian translation (btw, you 
didn't even mention the CVS module name, which makes it a bit more 
harder for translators to update), so I'm not against them -- I'm 
against acting without approval (I'm CCing Christian Rose -- he seems 
to have missed this discussion).

And of course, there'll be only a one or two languages with complete 
translations in that beta release, for the particular reason that the 
strings were added right before the release. That's just bad practice, 
and it should be discouraged -- strings should be added *early* in the 
release cycle, to give translators a chance.
