To be honest, I didn't check the official GNOME timeframe in the past,
as it never collide with the release of Gcmd (accidentally!). Thank you
for the hint. I'll keep an eye on the official GNOME timeframe in the
future.

Nevertheless, there is no reason why we should stick to September, 26th.
My idea was just to give the translation teams enough time.

As Gcmd is not a part of the GNOME core modules, it is no problem to
postpone the release. Let me fix the suspicious strings which you
mention below and I will again drop a message to this list.

Shame on my, I'll again go through the gschema file and fix that.

Thank you for this link! Really a great hint. I'll again work through
the original strings and make required changes / add comments.

Best wishes
