Prioritizing translation work is a must. Being able to catch 
new/changed UI-strings as soon as possible is a must.

Most places I'm translating (Gnome, KDE, Openoffice/LibO, 
TP, Launchpad, etc.) there have been discussions about 
categorisation of strings, some different roads have been 
proposed, but I think the above proposition by Gil is quite 
realistic.

It's not about egos, it may not even be about Gnome per se; 
for many translation teams it's about user experience and to 
have a fully translated Desktop Environment (which may 
depend on more strings than come from the DE of choice).

And the users I'm mostly concerned about are *not* those who 
are likely to see much of the 'deeper' error/config messages.
