Typically (meaning in other large projects that care about these things),
a "string freeze" is called much later during the release process, about
2/3 of the way between what we call start of beta and the final release.
Translation updates are then accepted up to about the time of the first
release candidates.

Note that now there is a message style guide, so we can easily designate
any misworded message a bug and change it during beta. ;-)

What I can tell you is that I just committed a batch of such message
changes (affecting all message catalogs except libpq and backend), and I
hope that that will be the last major such change in the affected programs
until release.  Most of the changes were in punctuation, so you don't have
to start all over.

I think gettext system is good designed for strings updates and ifsomebody use cool tool like "poedit" it's simple
foundchanges and fix updated .po files.
 
BTW, small suggestion - maybe will good add to your NLS pageinformation about ispell .po files checking by "pospell"
toolfrom"spellutils" package.
 
pospell -n file.po -p ispell -- -d langname  %f
