Problem is, we may not know ourselves (translators) if our translation 
"works". For example, I rarely "test" my translations ⁽ �⁾, I rely on other 
doing that. If they do... or if they do in time and report.

(1) My installed factory system is often not current (no network when I 
have available time). I often find more important (to me) problems when I 
test factory, which I investigate and report, and thus, rarely reach the 
point of carefully "testing" the translation. Plus, I use the system 
in English, not Spanish... I translate blindly, I don't often see or use 
what I make. I don't know if it is the same for other translators.

On the other hand, how can I test the translation for, say, webyast? I 
can't run all the procedures or sections there to see if all possible 
strings are there and are correct in context.


Often errors in translations will be noticed after much time... and often 
the people who notice can't report in English.

Could a repo with up to date translation packages be made? :-?
