Oh sorry about that, since it was almost a typo fix I didn't notify
you. I mean, since the meaning has not changed, I assumed noone would
mind.

I tested with the Spanish translation and the replace in the .po files
worked as expected.

I'm aware of string freeze policy and while this is technically a new
string, in practice it's just a word replaced, that plus the .po files
being "patched" too made me consider it as a "safe" change. If I
understand correctly, no translation was broken right? That was my
rationale, I also see your point.

I will consider it as a string freeze break next time.

Thanks for the clarification
