   Thanks.  I've just merged and will push shortly.

   I don't know a lot about how the translation stuff works, but I think 
there may be two possibilities:

   1. Old strings that are no longer used still stay in the translation 
files "just in case" they come back to life.  I'm thinking they may have 
an "unused" status marker like the "untranslated" status.  But again, I 
don't really know much about this stuff.  Just a hunch.

   2. There are a number of strings that are translated from places 
other than the code.  E.g. from the rgd files.  I don't remember the 
details, but I suspect this is not what you are seeing.

   #1 seems more likely than #2 for these strings.  Just theories here.
