it is an older idea and now it's the perfect moment:

I haven't checked if you used "record changes", but please use it when you make changes, because it will be easier for translators to update their translations.

I think that a better alternative is for translators to keep a copy of the original file they used. Then use the "compare document" feature to see what has changed.

I don't mean to give more work to translators. But over-all I think it'll be easier for everyone. When a chapter gets updated, it will generally include changes from many many people. A lot of deletions, then insertions, then re-deletions. This makes the document very unwildly, slow to load, and harder to manage for both the maintainer of the original copy and the translator.

Using "compare document" you can get a "clean" set of changes.

Cheers,
Daniel.
