I would bet, that I get more than a dozen ... ;)

... and with a notification to all translators, that it changed in 
Pootle afterwards ... ;) Would it be needed to change the string in 
older versions of LO as well then?

Hm. Maybe it would be possible with some kind of sed/awk magic 
and/or some kind of script to change it on the fly. Or maybe with 
some perl regexes or the like ... Do we have someone here, who could
