In Holidays scope there is sentence: "Sorry!" which is very hard to translate, located in ../src/query.cpp:209
Why it is hard to translate:
1. Ubuntu Phone is screaming to the user (by "!" sign).
2. It is still unknown who is "sorry". Is it "I'm sorry!" (as a Ubuntu/ phone) or "We are sorry!" (as a team). For Polish language it will be two completely different translations ("Przepraszam!" - "I'm sorry!", or "Przepraszamy!" - "We are sorry!")
3. It is very uncommon, that ubuntu Phone is talking with user. |

3. It is very uncommon and inconsistent, that ubuntu Phone is talking with user. I cannot find other strings, where Phone is "sorry" for something. |

4. Polish translation: "I'm sorry!" - "Przepraszam!", is very bad, because it mean that Ubuntu Phone has feelings and it is sorry for something. |
