346 translatable strings now, compared to 637. Way better. Thanks!

But having no experience with KRB5/such auth stuff at all, I still
wonder how strings like "Policy rejects transited path" or
"Inappropriate type of checksum in message" are helpful to an average
user. What exactly am I (probably a user whose computer has been set up
to use krb5) expected to do here when getting such an error message?

I still see big issues in translating stuff like "Ticket is ineligible
for postdating" if you're a translator who is not technically into KRB5.
Also, can you please add a comment to msgid "translator-credits"?

Great. Thanks for your work!
