No, that would effectively kill productivity. It is better to catch issues in beta phase. Not to mention that the UI approved by a comittee in the Sun era still resulted crap. See the history of http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/history/core/cui/source/dialogs/insrc.src, it is Mihkels example.

I don't understand why anyone needs to adapt translations for Milos' example. We have "Delete $1" and "Format $1" where $1 can be "Header" or "Footer". Those are STR_HEADER and STR_FOOTER from sw/source/ui/docvw/docvw.src and are not used anywhere else, so you can translate them as you need to fit into the "Delete $1" context. I hope the translation for "Header" or "Footer" is not different depending on if you delete it or if format it. As for the Insert Rows/Columns modal dialog, it was a good catch that needs to be fixed. But if it have been good enough for the last couple of years, then I don't think we need to urgently fix it in 3.5 and break the string freeze. Let's fix it in master. What do you think?
