Dear Translators et al,

before the 2.0.0 release we had a particular "String Freeze" period.
This was a time when all strings were fixed. It was guaranteed that no
string changes occur. This should help to offer complete translations at
the 2.0.0 release, and several languages reached this challenging mark!
Congrats.

Now 2.0.0 is out. We *could* have a string freeze for even some more
releases, but actually I think this isn't really necessary. Instead, I
propose the developers should now be allowed to make all queued string
changes (e.g. http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/14493 and
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/14546 ) iff these changes went
through the normal backporting audit.

We *could* have some particular 2.0.x releases which have a string
freeze beforehand, and others without it, but I think the minimal amount
of string changes don't justify this additional bookkeeping overhead. So
I simply propose an end to the string freeze. Other ideas? Proposals?

I've updated http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status accordingly.

Christian
