The string already exists in g-c-c so technically speaking it is not a
string freeze break:
#: ../panels/user-accounts/um-language-dialog.c:180
msgid "Other..."

However I don't know if some languages require a translation context
(msgctxt) here which would make this a new separate string, in case the
two translations differ (gender of strings that each of them refers to).
