Well, it does more than just creating the highscore though :)

Yeah, it might very well be that the files are lagging for 10 hours or more.
But this is no big problem as most processes are all reentrant. :)

The worst happening is that you translate the files of yesterday and lag
then 24 hours in translation. But as your changes get merged back next day,
it will be real. But there shouldn't be any inconsistency in content on any
place when the date put in the .pot and .po files are the same.
