I can't speak German so havn't read the posting but all translation
are clealy marked with who touched them and when.  If the teams have
been to lenient in letting in unexperienced translators that will be a
lesson they'll soon learn, but it's just the same as giving access to
SVN for translation.  Testing translations is exactly the same as with
any other translation means.  Rosetta also allows for exporting and
importing so you can translate with external tools.
