Yes, this is what it does currently. I think I set a slightly different
blurb in the about page for the main (EN-US) version of IceCat, but
translating custom text would just be a nice to have, not a priority.

One thing to remember is to not translate Firefox Sync to IceCat Sync,
since we are using the servers at Mozilla currently.

Also the about:rights page makes little sense. If you navigate there
you'll see couple of lines "should be listed here..." I don't think this
can be fixed from the langpacks, but maybe at some point we could
replace the text there with a one-liner, like:

GNU IceCat is free software. This means you may use, copy and distribute
GNU IceCat to others.  You are also welcome to modify the source code of
GNU IceCat as you want to meet your needs.

But this would require to translate it in so many languages, maybe it's
best to leave it in English across the board.
