Right.

We can use the translation branch as safety net in any case, provided
that it gets merged into staging once a week at most. I used to do
this but you have done a few merges and now I don't know if I'm still
responsible of it.  Result of make translation-status has to be
committed, also.

I think not in general.

Please don't forget to contact/cooperate directly with the main
translator first. It would be good to have more listed, regular
translators/retranslators, so the main translator should pose no
obstacle to this, but ask first in any case.
