I'm a bit puzzled, both to as why this is deemed important enough to
break any freeze there is at the moment (Sylpheed is not part of the
GNOME Desktop release is it?), and why you are asking translators
about breaking hard code freeze (you should be asking the release
team; please see http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes ).
Furthermore, I'm mindboggingly confused about comment #5 in the bug
report (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332659#c5):
"...since the patch
doesn't touch a single line of code..." WTF?
