Please use a hyphen instead of an underscore, as Åsmund explained: use
"translator-credits" instead of "translator_credits". Also, an
explanatory translator comment that explained how this string is used
would be extremely helpful.

As far as string freeze goes, I think this change is appreciated by
translators, and not considered harmful. It has my approval, if you also
notify when this change has landed in CVS.
