So today I had another look at stats over at Damned lies and noticed GTK+ was again at 100% in French for 3.16. I was a bit surprised since I didn't get an answer to my previous email with the above questions, so I went to the git repository to see how you solved the issue. Sadly, what I saw was this commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-3-16&id=c0f0874cf972526bf0fb0e629329f7249abe91e0 Unfortunately, unmarking the string doesn't solve the issue at all. If anything, it makes things even worse because now we don't even have a way to translate the message. Also it still breaking the freeze. As I said before, I understand that the probability of anyone seeing this string is ridiculously small. To be clear, if you had just said you would like an exception for it, given the context I would have given my +1 and I'm pretty sure someone would have given the second approval. I would really appreciate if you could confirm you intend to keep the string in there (and thus ask for an exception), as well as answer my question about a future 3.16.4.
