When Italian translators without commit rights send me a translation, I *at
least* read it to check for common mistakes, but also because if I'm going to
commit it, I'm somehow responsible for it. I could even check if the
translation was not done using, for example, google translator (which wouldbe
a violation of a number of terms of usage - and no, it's not something that
can't happen...) This is "checking the translations" for me.

If, as it seems, "a TWN admin" automagically performs the commit to the KDE
repository, this step will be missing, and I don't think it's doable.

If only translation reviewed or anyway approved by a known translator are
going it, it's a different story.
