Hi Maciej,

This was truly a surprise to us as well. This was sparked by Franz
meeting people from SuSE at CeBit. We had less than 72 hours to prep a
release - at a *really* busy time for all of us involved. So a string
freeze and advance notice was one of those things which were
un-intentionally missed.

One thing for translators to be aware of also is that Craig Bradney and
I have been going through the entire code adding Tool Tips. see
http://scribus.bradney.info/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000077

Some of these strings are actually quite long, but our aim was to get
these done long before 1.2 is out. My guess is we are 75%-85% finished.
When this bug is closed, I will send a reminder to all the translators,
which will give translators a really decent amount of time for
translating and clarifying any definitions/phrases.

Cordially,
Peter
