Oh, and something I forgot: the review should try to avoid too invasive changes, rephrasing, etc. as much as possible. APT manpages are a HUGE work to translate and most teams are already late in keeping up with it: de :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: de.po: 821 translated messages. es :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: es.po: 727 translated messages, 48 fuzzy translations, 46 untranslated messages. fr :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: fr.po: 737 translated messages, 43 fuzzy translations, 41 untranslated messages. it :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: msgfmt: it.po: 1 translated message, 89 fuzzy translations, 731 untranslated messages. ja :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: ja.po: 630 translated messages, 49 fuzzy translations, 142 untranslated messages. pl :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: pl.po: 423 translated messages, 62 fuzzy translations, 336 untranslated messages. pt :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: pt.po: 727 translated messages, 48 fuzzy translations, 46 untranslated messages. pt_BR :Charset is UTF-8. Stats: msgfmt: pt_BR.po: 2 translated messages, 129 fuzzy translations, 690 untranslated messages. As you see, at least the German, French (if I kick my ass enough), maybe Japanese, Portuguese...teams are in position to achieve translation completeness which, according to po4a settings, would lead to (at least partially) translated manpages. If too many strings are "broken", we might discourage some of them to do the update. Note that a "message" in manpages translation files is often a full paragraph that may take 5-10 minutes to translate.
