Right, the reason for this is that several such messages are not
generated by pidgin-otr, but by libotr itself. You can find this message
in libotr's src/message.c, for example.

There have been discussions on this list some months ago about what
would be the best way to internationalise libotr, and I think the idea
was to just move all UI messages out of libotr and modify the API such
that libotr passes some sort of enum'd error code to the UI instead of a
text message, and then the UI plugin can generate a suitable message (in
the right language) to display to the user.

I don't know if anyone has been working on that, though (I can't do it
unfortunately, because I'm quite busy with university at the moment).

Regards,
Thomas

PS: I attached another minor patch for de.po ;-)
