Well, Thomas usually tries to avoid new strings in the Branch as much as possible and only agrees to their introduction if they are related to fixing important bugs which keep the program from working properly. He usually does _not_ agree to more or less cosmetic changes. The latter would include (IMO) small usability glitches like this one: --- "Also a small sentence at the beginning of this paragraph saying "don't forget to type <userinput>file:</userinput>. For example, " would make the whole thing clearer." --- If we start fixing all the "small things that would make another thing clearer" we would invite the addition of tons of new strings. That's out of the question for the branch, considering the very sporadic message merges in there and its main purpose of "letting teams catch up on translations". Therefore, I would ask you to have another look at this list of proposed fixes and only fix the real important stuff (like broken links) that keep existing features from working as they should.
