As I told you privately already, yes, I'd like you to either revert
this change, or remove N_() markers if you don't want these to be
translated.

I have already explained for a hundred times why this is important to
us to have no string changes during this period, and don't feel like
repeating right now: in short, string freeze is there for a reason.

(basically, imagine 50 [and we have nearly 100] modules doing only 4-5
string changes, which amounts to a total of 200-250 string changes in
entire Gnome, which is almost 1% of full Gnome translation, and can
thus hurt some languages when we judge their status; not to mention
that it means more work for 50+ translators)

Cheers,
Danilo
