Somehow, when generating back and forwards between .po and .xml, it 
comes up to 260 messages.
We are at 260 messages (el).

This discrepancy could relate to the messages below appearing untranslated.
While translating, we noticed that a string <placeholder> would appear 
and go between succesive generations
of the .po file, affecting the messages your list below. When the 
<placeholder> tag (sometimes with the number 1 or 2)
would disappear, it would be replaced with a <title></title> tag, 
containing a string that has already been
translated.

Again, same here.
