I understand that it's not easy to move release dates around, but I
have to say it is unfortunate that your string freezes overlaps with
the GNOME one like that. GNOME will have higher priority and if you
had done your release at another time, you'd have had translators with
much more free time to dedicate to your software.

I just had a quick look and some strings look suspicious, e.g. :
"filemanager"
"copy"
"'text'" (yes, with single quotes inside of the string)
"16"

Do these really have to be translated? If so, do you have expectations
about their format? In any case a translator comment would be
appreciated.
