And now you can't trace updates to the English translation, the one your
translation is still based on. What if there are errors (i.e. an
incorrect link or a missing paragraph) in the English translation which
gets fixed? You wouldn't know since the original could be correct and
hence not updated.

Then at least add a comment to your translation, saying that it is
actually based on English version x.y, otherwise you're the only one who
knows. :-) But I still think that you should point to the language your
translation is based on.
