Hello World,
I have made the updated translation templates available for Drupal 5 RC2. There are some improvements in Drupal core, which means slightly more strings (but better translatability overall). There were also some improvements and changes made to the extractor, so that these result in changed templates. The main changes in the extractor are:
- .info file strings are now folded into general.pot (for core), as it turned out that users expect to see translated module descriptions, when deciding on whether to enable a module or not. This is a usability fix for the multiple PO file model we are experimenting with for later packages of your translations. Read up on this distribution model here if you are interested: http://drupal.hu/english/node/7
- All .pot files have CVS $Id$ comments now. This was a feature request, so that downloaded POT files have their exact versions in them. This is in line with the suggested Drupal guidelines of every possible file having CVS id comments.
- There were some bugs fixed around node_perm() and time interval related strings.
Drupal fixes add on up these of course. Konstantin already tried to show some issues related to the fixes which resulted in string changes (on 19th Dec 2006).
Have fun fixing your translations, we are now very close to the Drupal 5 release!

By the way, color-module.pot got integrated into general.pot because there was so few strings in there after .info strings got folded to general.pot. Watch out for your strings, and merge them into the general.pot file.
Because of core string fixes, a new form-inc.pot emerged, which got exactly ten strings. Most of these strings appeared in general.pot before, so you can move them to here from that file.
