I basically had to cherry-pick your 4 patches out of the mob branch from the i18n fork. The issue is the mob branch is based on an old lineage that Dscho hand picked patches out of and squashed when he created the initial i18n series for me to merge.

The i18n fork as it currently stands is pretty far away from my
own tree; it probably should be reset to my tree in the near future.

Yea, I'll run it before I push out my newest master tonight.

I agree on the need for the string freeze period and will plan to include a 14+ day window near the end of the 0.9.0 release to update the translations. I want to get the major functionality written and then we can work on debugging/testing/translation.

Schedule wise I'm probably looking at middle of next month or the month after (so Nov 15th-ish or Dec 15th-ish) for the 0.9.0 string freeze period starting. That means there is a good chance we won't be seeing 0.9.0 final in 2007; probably it will be in early 2008.
