Thank you so much for your patch, Nikolay!
> since we don't expect international versions to be released at the same
time we release 2.5
Actually, we are aiming at a H+6 release ourselves (fr_FR), and our recent
2.5-RC1 release comfort us that this can be done. Ok, not everyone will do
this, obviously, but just to let you know.
> Translators can catch up in the days after the release
But wouldn't that make it for 2.5.1?

Agreed. And we're not even talking about feminine form :) (i.e., in
French, Post is translated to Article, masculine word, and Page to Page,
feminine word. Double that with plurals, and you've got yet another level
of problems :) But that's for another major release, I'd say...)
