In doing some testing of various things within anaconda, I've come across a few fringe error cases which we really should be catching and presenting to the user with something other than a traceback. Unfortunately, this involves strings :-/
So, there are a few options 1) Leave as a traceback. You'll have to try pretty hard to convince me this is the right answer ;-) 2) Add the strings, don't mark them for translation. Similar to 1 for non-English users, but at least not a traceback. 3) Add the strings, mark them, get as much translated as possible.
I'm really up for either 2 or 3 based on what people would prefer. We'll be building anaconda up until pretty late, so this shouldn't be a big problem. But I wanted to give people a chance to yell if they had a large problem

PS We're talking about a relatively small (10 at the way outside... I think I'm at 3 right now) number of strings

If 3 happens, I'll gladly translate them into spanish, but I can't speak for the translaters of the other hundred languages.

The latest es.po was just uploaded. Stats in t.fp.o will be available in the next 4 hs I guess.

+1. String freeze doesn't mean "no new strings", but "every new or changed string is announced on fedora-trans-list". So, this is fine.

Hi,
I may have said this before, but I'll say it again: I think 2) is the worst option of all. It is actually so bad it should not be considered at all, in my opinion. In both 2) and 3) the string freeze is broken, but with 2) the translators do not even get a chance to translate.
With option 2), zero end users will see the message in their own language, but with 3) there is a good chance that >50% of end users see the translated message.
I vote for number 3.

If you are looking at localization, you are just in right place. We need your help. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/en_US/
