Translation-Testers ?
@Patchou
How many people are working on each translation?
If there are only a hand full translators working on each language I do NOT think that it is very wise to not release any more beta-versions before releasing the final!
I made horrible experiences with programm translations in the past and I really hate to recommend a great programm and then tell everybody not to use their native language but choose english, since the translation makes the programm nearly unusable.
For example Shareaza: It's a great programm, but for a long time the German translation was simply so bad, that lots of Germans kicked it of their machine. If there would have been no German translation at all it would probably have stayed since most German speak English rather well but most users don't bother to switch the UI-language of a programm just to check if other translations are better then the one of in their native language!
I really really recommend to release beta-versions of the translated versions so native speakers can test them and make recommendations for changes of the translation file!
Patchou, I don't know how good your for example German skills are, but I don't think that you will find flaws in every translation yourself. And just trusting the translators to do a perfect job doesn't make sense, translators make mistakes - often more then programmers. A test of the translation is IMHO extremely important.

@ sock..
well its true [in fact, chromo made some annoying translation faults in spanish latinamerica] but releasing the final version of the code doesn't mean that patchou can't release a 2.1a version with updated languages some weeks later.
And believe me, errors in a such a long text file are likely to ocurr unless you do it very pausedly
