This has nothing to do with Gnome Panel, this is a Unity bug. I just proposed a fix for it.
Could someone mark the Gnome Panel item as invalid?

So, for Quantal, the "Workspace Switcher" string is not anymore in langpacks (the file is not in POTFILES.in). If we only put it back, this would mean having every translation team having to retranslate it which is not acceptable IMHO at this stage of the release.
As the button is exposed by default, we need it translated. I looked at the workspaces-related string and found one which can match in them: we have "Workspaces" in the help dialog (when you keep super pressed). The translation matches in French and I checked other languages.
I pinged design about it and they are ok with the change to avoid having to retranslate it. Also they do note that "Workspace Switcher" and "Workspaces" still get access to the same intent, and doesn't introduce confusion.

Ok, no need for the changed strings after all, Seb reuploaded the template file with the additional string and launchpad kept the 12.04 string, so we can revert it to that one.
The incoming langpack export will then repick the previous 12.04 translation.
The POTFILES.in addition is still needed for next upload to not remove the string from the template and so export.

satisfactory solution for everyone, you rock!

(marking as fix released as we just need to wait patiently on next langpack export to do its magic :))

Confirmed too.
AFAIK gnome-panel doesn't shipped in quantal.
