Re: Approving of string freeze breaks (was: Re: Fwd: String additions to 'gnome-keyring.HEAD')

I don't quite agree with the conclusion here, that developers are not to blame at all. In my experience if developers would read the documentation on i18n [1]in the developer guide, especially the part about

"Use comments"
"Never split sentences"
"Plurals"
"Avoid markup wherever possible"

and beside this add comments on sentences and words that are clearly ambiguous in English (that they can know even if they don't know any other languages) then we could easily avoid half(ish) the i18n-related bugs, and then other half would seem like less of a burden during freeze. So I don't really see any reason to change anything in the procedures.
