Hi Sophie, OK for me to work on master translation.

Right. The issue is raised (IMHO) because a great deal of developers are not english native speakers, as well as their focus is no C++ language rather than English. The thing is: if we can catch the modification upfront, it will make it easy for all of us. If I may also suggest, I'll ask all developers and within ESC recurrent revision, to check/review/flag for any major issues with respect to l10n. This can be implemented as One: create a meta-bug about l10n en_US string revision. Two: then on each commit that involves some form of l10n activity, the developer should open a new bug with his commit number/reference and link to the l10n meta-bug. The subject line should be "L10n revision requested". Three: the same developer, if implementing or modifying a feature, should also open a similar bug with subject "[LOCALHELP] feature XYZ changed/created; help page missing" and link to bug 80430. Note that we don't ask to the developers to fix english mistakes nor write help pages, tasks that we can offload from them provided we get noticed. Fixing English mistakes/linguistics and writting help pages is a task the community can do continuously.
