I don't expect it to be translated. There's only two words there to
translate:

1) "started", which is unnecessary because the appearance of the message
itself carries the same meaning ("Things are Happening!")
2) "pre-release", which will be fully explained in the user's native
language by the betanag popup.

I'll send a new patch shortly.
