Am not clear on who handles the following:

Changing strings post-freeze

If you need to change a string (add, remove or edit) after the string freeze, please file a bug in Bugzilla in Boot2Gecko > General (or Gaia, when it's created) and add the late-l10n keyword. Each change post-freeze will need to be reviewed by the l10n-drivers.

Additionally, when changing a string post-freeze, you will need to change the identifier of the string so that the l10n toolchain picks up the change and notifies the localizers.
