While I don't disapprove of the above solution to the problem, I
vehemently disagree with the string freeze being ignored and requests
for approval and prior discussion being ignored.

EOG is part of GNOME. GNOME is string frozen. EOG has not branched for
gnome-2-8 yet. Hence, EOG HEAD is, and should be, string frozen. Follow
the instructions on
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#ApprovingFreezeBreakages
when and if you need to request approval to break the freeze.

At the very least, let translators know *in advance* if you plan to
patch the po files! This is so that CVS conflicts can be avoided, or
reintroduced buggy translations or other unwanted sideeffects be avoided
aswell.
