(Get the code!)
Just a quick note for people considering string changes. Any string change, even one that only changes whitespace, creates new work for translators. The strings are hashed for lookup, so any change at all requires re-generating the PO files or the translation doesn't happen.
In cases where the translator is working without the source tree (often the case), regeneration is a non-trivial step.
If you are just removing strings, this is a non-issue as the hash is never accessed. But please don't assume that small changes in English is the same as small work for our translators.
