Yes yuo're right, its still a good idea
But the problem is that someone should have to do all that work. Probably MenthiX, the Translators-DB admin.
Programming the feature isn't very hard and has some sense (imo), so I'm happy this suggestion has been pushed up again
What I thought, if Choli doesn't care and has some spare time, is to distribute among all translators a special version of his Translator app that would upload the new/corrected file directly to the server. In that case, for safety, each copy of the Translator should be personalized with the nick of the owner and add it as comment in any translator file created with it to detect leaks immediately (hope you got my point
).
