I remember I have translated it for Fedora 6 but I don't remember
where the string is.
My translation, the current translation in Fedora 10 System menu, is
not the same as the one in the wiki page [1].

When I see something untranslated, or a translation that bothers me, I
translate the module and submit it in transifex. Then, in the next two
weeks or less, a package update comes in the update system.
I feel comfortable with this method, because there's no need to file a bug.

It happens in Spanish too.
It would be nice to have that string translated.
