I am not sure who is responsible to respond to string freeze exception, but I will comment it as my hat of the i18n team. Looking at "cinder" translation status [1], the best progress is ~73% and 718 of 2932 message are remaining. In other languages the progress is lower. Adding two new messages does not matter. Removing messages has no problem. I see no blocking issue in this request. In addition, I think the i18n team focuses on dashboard translations and server projects are less focused for translations. IIRC the I18n team discussed an idea to announce the i18n team focus on translation to let server projects be free from string freeze around the beginning of the Pike cycle but I am not sure it is announced or not.
