I comprehend your concern for quality. But now I have no clear info
about documentation changes. I would have to study git changelogs or do
other frustration work. It has impact on documentation translation
completeness and quality too.

I translate Gnome (which uses own tools for work with documentation
po/pot) and I don't see any problem with quality. Documentation
translator is usually the same as UI translator so he has knowledge
about application.

I thing the limit to translation quality is translator at first,
using .po is the matter in question.
