Yes, thanks for noticing this Danilo. I'm having trouble noticing string
freeze breakages this time around, since the Swedish translations aren't
anywhere near completeness at the moment. I need all help I can get in
detecting added/changed messages in the desktop and developer-libs
sections (I would hope teams with complete translations like en_CA, gu,
pl, and pa could help with this).

Pablo, can you please explain why those two new messages
1) couldn't have been added before the string freeze, and
2) why they can't wait until later?

Otherwise, I would like to ask you to revert those string additions, and
put the patch for those in a bug report on bugzilla.gnome.org so that
they can be done later.
