Well, i don't know about the legalese, but I think an ordinary Swedish user
would not expect to see the string "(c) 2000-2002, The Noatun Developers"
in the dialog box, but something like "(c) 2000-2002, Noatun-utvecklarna".

There lots of such copyright messages already translated for other 
applications, so if legal aspects require the copyrights to be untranslated, 
those would have to be changed instead (by removing I18N_NOOP).

Anyone out there, who can shed a light on this?
