Bug#229325: One msg still not fixed in beta4
Quoting Wang WenRui (wangwr@ustc.edu):

> msgstr "Choisir le pays"

> Please fixed that. Thanks.
No, we won't. Menu entries need to be short. The possible size for
menu entries is 54 characters, in ALL LANGUAGES. While using "Choose a
country, territory or area" would fit in English, this would add an
unnecessary verbosity to the main menu, which needs to be concise and
clear.
So, though the entry is a bit unaccurate or may hurt some political
feelings (again.....in these days we enlarge the European Community, I
begin to be really pissed off by political things, especially after
the surrealistic thread about what is Free and what is not), we will keep
"Choose a country".
