I was thinking they could switch the text as well, but that will burden 
the other projects with more localization work.

OK by me.  My only suggestion is to consider changing the last one to:

   "Please wait while a connection to the Tor network is established."

For me, this wording emphasizes "Tor network" a little more, which is a 
term that is familiar to many people.  And since we are making changes 
anyway....
