I think it would be better to just release 4.9.0. We could go on forever 
making dev-releases,
and by the time all translations got we would likely already have added 
new strings
that need to be translated.

So let's just release what we have, and when we received all .po files 
pertaining to it,
we just release a 4.9.1 with those. We might have bug-reports and fixes 
in the mean
time as well, so it is never a bad idea to have an x.y.1 release shortly 
after the x.y.0 release.
We could even adopt that as a policy for future releases. String freezes 
are just not practical;
it is always better to have an item with an untranslated name in the UI 
than not having
the item at all. Or postponing the release, leaving people with unfixed 
bugs in the previous
version.
