Yesterday was the string freeze date and many Gnome components were updated as you???d expect. From now on, no string changes may be made without two approvals from the Translation Coordination Team and notification to release-team and documentation team.

From this point, developers should concentrate on stability and bug-fixing. Translators can work without worrying that the original English strings will change, and documentation writers can take accurate screenshots.
