[Shotwell] strings inconsistencies and notes

Hi,

while doing the German translation, I noted a few things in the original
strings. Most of these are minor, but they should also be easy to fix or
get a word on.

 * Sometimes you talk of "publishing", sometimes you talk of
"uploading". This seems inconsistent. For what its worth, I like
"publishing" better.
 * Words such as "unmark" and "unhide" are difficult for me. I know its
supposed to refer to the reverse, but wouldn't "remove mark" and "show
again" be better? No clue about the UX, just the wording seems awkward
(maybe more so in German, though).
 * Is "Undoing revert" really possible? ;-)
 * "Generating Events" seems slightly odd. I know what you mean, but its
not really the Event that is generated (that one happened already in the
real world), rather the Events are extracted from the foto metadata, right?
 * "Basic" and "Extended" information are not clear to me. I am assuming
there is some criteria for selecting what to display at which setting.
It may be clearer to specify this critera or just to say "Basic" and "All".

so much for now
