The problem is that s-t-b is not hosted on GNOME infrastructure. It used
to have more translatable strings and the translation process was
delegated to the Translation Project [3].
So someone has to prepare a pre-release containing a pot file, submit it
to the TP, wait some days so as translators can submit their work, get
back the translations in the s-t-b repo, and release a new s-t-b
version.
Considering the time taken by the patch in #528015 to be committed, I
have some doubts about the speed of the above process :-(

An alternative would be to delegate the translation to GNOME
translators, and we could send a tarball with translations to the s-t-b
(ex)maintainer. Carlos, any thought?
