Comment:

 We are talking about a string added hours ago by this commit:

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-
 toolkit/mainline/commit/aaea3591e27adfafa6a5b47a63a309b15bbbff20

 We refresh POT files nightly at midnight and if the string is identical to
 an existing string in the PO file, then the translation of that msgid will
 be retained and shared with the new call on it and the PO file will change
 by adding the additional location comment on where it appears.  We will
 also get fuzzy matches from the Template update process.

 Adding a "new" string (or another copy of an existing string in a new
 location) and expecting several hour turn-around on a process that is
 automated to run on it's own at midnight is not an entirely reasonable
 expectation.  I am reluctant to mess with manually kicking off some of the
 cron job elements as I do not work with their syntax and argument
 requirements on a regular basis.  That is what the cron job is for.

 The cron job having done it's work, I've refreshed the languages from the
 modified template and even submitted and committed a number of them that
 were easy to complete.

 This was not so much a bug, as it was a very last minute string-freeze
 break, let's try not to do that too much.

 Closing as fixed.
