Ooh, super.

Yup, they're missing; good catch. Raised as <http://gna.org/bugs/?18031>
(after looking for others; I found nothing else important) and should be
fixed soon. This adds about 14 strings for everyone (although most of
them are not new since S2_2, so they may still be lurking at the bottom
of existing translations in #~ comments).

The total number of strings has probably gone down because I removed 91
strings from the dead win32 client after beta4: <https://gna.org/patch/?2619>.
(Apologies to those newish translators who diligently translated these
before we spotted this...)

Will do if no-one else gets to it first (once the above has been sorted,
to avoid trouble).

No, I don't think there are any firm plans yet; the furthest we got was
resetting the schedule advertised on the opening screen from March to
June in beta4, and that was a guess. It's rather quiet on the
development front (it's only me committing to S2_3, to be honest).

That said, there have been some string changes since beta4, notably the
"%d gold" ones discussed here <http://gna.org/bugs/?17928>, which
touches quite a few strings. If any translator were especially keen to
keep up to date, there's a bit of work to be done.

(The files at cazfi.net do not yet reflect this; if Marko's too busy to
refresh them, I could put some new ones up somewhere.)
