[mythtv] GUI Themes and translation

Hi Devs

I have added a new GUI window for MythTV Startup Status. The window 
definition is in themes/default/config-ui.xml (I chose that one because 
it includes other startup related windows). The new window works with 
all themes even though it is not included in their definitions, because 
of the way the themes inherit from "default".

Will the strings in this window be included in translations? The 
themestringtool downloads themes from themes.mythtv.org and as far as I 
can see, "default" and "default-wide" are not there.

Even if my window is included by some or all themes, it is not necessary 
for them to include the text strings, as they can be inherited from 
"default". So how will these strings get into the translation process? 
Do I need to do anything?

Peter
