Now only fixes in the english strings seem to be allowed but the release
schedule is far from being very clear on this topic. Thomas can you give
more details? When will be the "real hard message freeze" effective?

This is a rather interesting issue especially regarding the docs. All
the docs won't be translated in the native languages for KDE 2.0
(because the english version are written very late). Would it possible
be possible to add in khelpcenter the ability to download the newly
translated docs (post KDE 2.0 release) from a predefined 'KDE doc
server'?
