There is a missing file with i18n strings in POTFILES.in:

src/protocols/bonjour/jabber.c

The attached patch adds it to POTFILES.in.

Are there any ideas, how we should deal with languages with very
incomplete and outdated translations? Ideally we find new translators
for this languages. May be we should ask for help on a translators site
(GNOME translation teams etc.).

Should we include translation files with a very low rate of translated
strings? For instance Amharic (am) has currently a translation rate of
4.95%, Slovak (sk) 5.39% etc. (from http://gaim.sourceforge.net/i18n/)

I personally prefer English over a very incomplete translation.
