Have you pinged the translators about this change? They will probably be interested as this may prompt a change in language team policies: some refuse the Unicode ellipsis currently if I'm not mistaken. And it would make sense to have a script to mass-update the PO files. Also, you could fix the HIG so that it uses the Unicode ellipsis in its example, and explicitly prescribes to use it. http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/unstable/controls-buttons.html.en Good luck with the change, though, it's quite some work!
I pushed the last Bluetooth patch.
