I've been recently working on making GNOME Shell (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell) available as an optional component for F12 so people can try it and see what's coming in GNOME 3.
Part of this is having a way to switch your GNOME desktop to use GNOME Shell. I did this by adapting the desktop-effects tool that was previously part of the compiz-gnome package:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-August/msg00119.htm...
(desktop-effects is "upstream Fedora" and hosted on fedorahosted.org.)
It was pointed out to me, however, that we're a few weeks past the string freeze.
Changing the desktop-effects user interface does involve some new strings, and these strings will be seen even if you are just using the existing functionality of switching between Metacity and Compiz. I've extracted the new strings and listed them below. There are no changes to existing strings.
I think it is pretty neat to have GNOME Shell available to be installed on F12. I think it's much nicer to have a single user interface for this rather than:
- The old desktop effects user interface - A "switch to GNOME Shell" user interface
That interact in complex ways that are hard to debug. So, hopefully this can be green-lighted from the translation side :-)

New strings =========== msgid "Could not restore old settings. Giving up." msgid "Could not restore old settings. Switching to standard GNOME Desktop." msgid "Failed to start Metacity. Reverting to previous settings." msgid "Failed to start Compiz. Reverting to previous settings." msgid "Failed to start GNOME Shell. Reverting to previous settings." #. compiz-gnome and gnome-shell are package names and should not be translated msgid "" "Only the standard GNOME desktop is available. Please install compiz-gnome or " "gnome-shell." msgid "<i>3D-accelerated visually-appealing desktop</i>" msgid "<i>Preview of GNOME 3.0 user interface</i>" msgid "<i>Simple graphics, suitable for low-end machines</i>" msgid "_Compiz" msgid "_GNOME Shell" msgid "_Standard"

The desktop-effects package wasn't rebuild with latest translation for some time, so I don't think we are losing anything. Also it would stop this pretty nice feature anyone would like to test, so here is +1 from Polish team. :) Any objections or notes? If there is another +1, please go ahead and rebuild PO files. It's always better to have an application translated in several languages than in no one, and we have much time before deadline.

+1 from pt_BR team too.
I also find interesting to have this GNOME Shell feature in F12. It will also provide a user feedback related to what they think about the recent GNOME Shell translation.

Green lights from Danish team too.

+1, but only if you fix us BZ #492196 ;)

Your request was approved some time ago, please do what is needed to have this shiny new desktop-effects translated. :)
