I'm indeed alive even though I'm still not through with all the mails :)
But I don't see anything changed. We knew that a feature freeze is a
tough
thing, but we have to do this somewhen and I fail to see why we can't
get 
it to work. The message freeze itself isn't 100% strict, but we should
definitly think three times before we change anything. The translators
will
finish their first run somewhen and will then proofread the
translations.
One or two new messages a day aren't the problem in that phase, but
10-15
become already real work and you _have_ to proofread somewhen and to
translate
it somewhen too. And if developers think, it can be done in a week, they
should
try.

Greetings, Stephan
