Comment (by taos):

 On HTA, this string was removed and re-added so often that there are now
 more than 60 entries. Every translation attempt is futile because this
 string will be overwritten a few hours later.

 I don't know enough about programming for Haiku to decide what exactly
 causes this problem. I've added a patch with a shortened string. However,
 I can't test if this patch will help the situation on HTA.

 As ReadOnlyPrompt is - after the boot logo - the first thing users see, I
 think we should try to solve this problem for alpha 3. It would be a nice
 indication of the on-going translation effort. In regard of localization,
 the current nightlies have come such a long way from alpha 2 that we could
 proudly show this in our welcome message.
