Whoa, 400 is still pretty much. Wouldn't it possible to use more placeholders 
instead of 100 mA, 200 mA, 300 mA in different strings? That would reduce the 
amount of strings significantly.

In my opinion it wouldn't be a good idea to allow two big string additions for 
one bugfix release (because the merge of Kopete 0.12 was allowed some time 
ago for the upcoming 3.5.5 release)

So for now, I'm against. But my opinion could be altered if you manage to 
reduce the amount of new strings (no promises, though ;) )

Kind regards,
