A bit late reply.
As one of translators, I can say wrong strings are worse.
"String Freeze" is a soft freeze and it just declares we don't make big change
mainly due to feature additions. It does not necessarily prevent fixes
including string changes.
In Horizon case, after starting translations
Thierry,
Thanks! I agree.

Thanks, ttx.
If there’s anyone that can do a final review on
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118535/ — would be much appreciated and I’m
happy to llet the i18n folks know once it merges.

In that precise case, given how early it is in the freeze, I think
giving a quick heads-up to the -i18n team/list should be enough :) Also
/adding/ a string is not as disruptive to their work as modifying a
potentially-already-translated one.

I’m not sure whether the string freeze applies to bugs, but the defect that
Matt mentioned (for which I authored the fix) adds a string, albeit to fix a
bug. Hoping it’s more desirable to have an untranslated correct message than a
translated incorrect message. :-)

Matt,
I don't think that is the right solution.
If the string changes I think the only problem is it won't be translated if
it is thrown. That is better than breaking the coding standard imho.
