Not all the work, I consulted a lot with some of the translation coordinators which was very valuable!

Thanks for the clarification. How should we better rephrase it? "Adam Turner lead the work"?

I'm happy with that phrasing, thanks!

If you want an answer:
A translation is used in the build process only if it's source is a 100% match.
This means that even if a strings changes by a single character, the entire translation is invalidated. Our tools for updating translation files (these are generally run in a CI, we update the source for Transifex every other day) will remove the now orphan source string (msgid) and it's translation (msgstr) and replace it with the new source string. This is why on the dashboard there is sometimes a negative 30 day's progress for projects.

| * There is inconsistency with the different translations groups. Do they need to be consistent? |

IMO no, for a CPython equivalent, it would be like forcing every committer to run the same OS and IDE. If we force switches we will loose translators.
