Obviously I meant mc CVS -- mea culpa.

If you can do that, that's of course excellent since translations can
then easily be updated in time for the real release, but I don't think
it's a requirement. I know for sure that not all modules currently in
the TP do use that release strategy.

Of course not -- just mention in your application to use the TP that
there are existing translations that you wish to be imported, and then
send a tarball or allow for one to be downloaded with those
translations. The TP maintainers can then properly import those
translations, so that TP translators can start working with those.

Thanks a lot!
