I changed the subject and hijacked the thread to announce the availability of RC3. There is already a reported translation problem with Basque and it seems that their are potentially more strings broken for Basque. I suggested a more detailed review and testing and declined it as showstopper. Probably others will think different about it. But the reported problem seems to be in 3.4 already. We had several snapshot builds and a RC1 available since more than 1 week and the question is why it comes up so late. Building the releases is no fun and a minor change for one language triggers a long build process and even longer upload. My recommendation for this and any other translation problem is that the language community decides if we should release it or not. I also recommend to test it more in detail to find potential other problems and fix them. We can discuss a 4.0.2 language update only on demand, I see Danish and Bulgarian close to be complete. But I would not postpone the 4.0.1 because it contains some serious bugfixes that should be available to the public asap. I will start a vote today and let it up to the community to decide. Herbert (hdu) will take over the release manager role because I am not available the next 2 weeks.
