Is "UNUSED STRING" clear enough?

Well, if you bother to ask (allways a good idea) - "string" is a pretty
much straight-forward technical term in English, but it will sound
awkward in other languages I use (German, Spanish). Perhaps a less
technical term like "sentence" or "expression" would be preferable. And
I don't see the need for capitalizing this message.
Devs are required to produce clear, lucid, translatable output. But we
will allways remain with this different-gramars-working-differently
problem. When you are done with your work, you should should shovel the
problem over upon the shoulders of the different l10n-teams.
