Afaik there are three valid reasons to break the string freeze:

1. fix untranslatable messages, but please cc kde-i18n-doc at kde.org list in the 
commit

2. potential data loss caused by wrong/misleading strings, but please discuss 
and explain this on the translators list to find a proper solution (maybe its 
possible to reuse an existing translation)

3. approval from kde-i18n-doc at kde.org
