The word Statistics is used for both the production/soldiers labels on buildings and for the statistics menus. This is confusing in helptexts and the tutorials. Would it be possible to rename the building labels to e.g. Status? I think it is a more appropriate name, and it also matches Census nicely.

I've checked, and it's only 8 places in the source according to the PO templates.

+1 for renaming to "Status". I also used to find this a bit confusing at times.

Can we still change strings for 1.0?

For v1.0 only necessary string fixes are still allowed: typos, incorrect information, etc. Renamings should wait until after the release.
