I disagree. "Draw Freely" in English is completely meaningless to speakers of many languages. If it's the motto of Inkscape, then we need to translate it. Otherwise, why use it?
Please see (and comment) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/463814.
The "Unimount" about screen is a typical case. "Draw Freely" is very well integrated in the drawing and will be very difficult to translate. Translating it will change the text length (or if we want to keep the same length, change to text size) and may not be as nice as the original screen with some translations.
