I am not sure of this.  A few years ago we seem to have a consensus on
an informal "API" that allows tracking untranslated changes [1].  This
was the %SRCID% tag placed in the translated files.  Using this tag,
one could generate nice stats about the work to do [2], and get the
diffs to work with.  At least, that is what I did for a few years...

I have maintained a vocabulary for the translation of commonly used
expressions [3] in the past.  So I was consistent with myself at least
:-P
