Thanks Matthias. I've added bug reports for this now:
Dzongkha [dz]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348790
Armenian [hy]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348791
Georgian [ka]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348792
Oriya [or]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348793
Turkmen [tk]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348795
Tatar [tt]: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348796

Respective translators, please fix this as soon as possible!

(Please note that 'ang' and 'ku' weren't affected by the problem, as
this message is in fact untranslated in those po files, and the 'rw'
message was fuzzy-marked).
