It's not about getting bored or not. It's just a way of working.
We, at the Galician language team, know that in this early stages there 
are a lot of strings that will be changed in the near future or not. 
It's only a thing that we have to handle with.

Sure, there are a lot of teams that could spend precious time 
translating those strings. Although, from my point of view this is not 
an problem of those teams but an issue that should be clarified in the 
DL interface, i.e. with a message in the module set page like:

"This module set is in early stages, so avoid to translate it"

Anyway, I just want to get GNOME 3.8 module set enabled because I want 
to get the current statistics for that version.

On the other hand, We can translate documentation, sure, but again if 
the UI changes the documentation will change too. So again, this will be 
a work that potentially will be lost.

Cheers.
