The strings were added after a translator testing the beta asked for the
strings to become translatable. Only a very small part of it is KDE 4.2

I checked briefly the diff of today and I indeed see a lot of SLE development
adding strings, but I fail to spot comma position changes at this point.

Having the SLE development in parallel with openSUSE _is_ a problem and it's
not just one for translators. Of course you can claim that community 
translators is the most important aspect of development, but I'm afraid
it's just one aspect. E.g. we could branch out yast now and freeze it
for openSUSE, but then we would also lack all the fixes done now. So
basically we decided to go for more fixes and a possible lack of translations
at some points. But as we did with past releases, we'll ship translation
updates where it makes sense. 

Greetings, Stephan
