OK, I was (and I assume most of us if not all of us were) under the
impression that the key-id enabled build we received last week also
contained all the translations by Alpha. It was quite a shock to find that
there were so many untranslated items in the help.

For now all we can do (regarding the help) is to wait for the next build.

Good news to know that we actually can use two versions side by side.

I think that this remark was made with the amount of missing translations in
mind. If we only find one issue every few pages in the help it's not too
much work. The time consuming bit is to collect all the data and make
suggestions for the translation several times per page.

Most of us are too much of a perfectionist to settle for reviewing less than
100% ;-) Also, the time we invest in making correct help pages will safe a
lot of time later in answering questions on the general e-mail list.

I'm all for this spreadsheet! I made a simple spreadsheet to collect all the
issues, but if there is a sheet that is easier for QA to process I will use
that.

Kind regards, Jigal.
