Ok, I just wasn't sure what the heck is going on.  It's hard to keep
up with you guys ;-)

So, I went to the trouble of actually checking what was approved, and
I didn't find anything except for "translator-credits", which was
already in.

Well, it's not for me to decide.  This, like every other string change
during string-freeze, needs to be weighted in terms of what it
improves, and is it worth the trouble of 50+ translators who'd have
to update their translations?  FWIW (and it ain't much), my opinion
is that these are not important enough.  Unless we hear from a11y
folks, of course.

Seems to be http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=64974

this wasn't marked as requiring GTP approval, and I don't remember any
being given.  "Official approvals" are commonly those coming from
Christian Rose <menthos menthos com> or occasionally Kjartan Maraas.

There's already another message in Evolution which might be used
instead of "Select individual file":

#: shell/e-shell-importer.c:643
msgid "Select a file"

If this message seems suitable, it would be way easier for
translators if you used this string instead, so they don't have to
update their translations at all.

Cheers,
Danilo
