Good point.  I thought about keeping the outdate count constant during the
operation, but of course the information of which is the last translated
version would be corrupted.

I do not think that I will ever have a large enough time window to work on a
single-run switch by myself.  I would like the Unicode transition to be done,
and if nobody else does it I propose to do it myself or together, step by step,
in an asynchronous manner.  The time I dedicate to Debian is usually very
fragmented.

If I come back with a proposal, I will

 - list the pages that need a conversion,
 - report if they have outdated translations,
 - report which translations would be likely to be modified by a smart-change,
 - detail how I propose to solve that problem.

Cheers,
