Honestly, I'd expect to switch to subversion since it's very easy to switch to for people who are used to CVS. However, technically speaking I'm sure there are solutions to track translations automatically with other VCS. At least with git where most low level commands are usable from scripts. One can extract the last commit that modified a file with a command like this one: $ git-rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- thefile 54bb0defc14d937ed2bfd93a705cb6892d3766dd And if you have a "reference" commit you can do this command to find out all the commits that changed the file since that commit: $ git-rev-list HEAD ^c6549f3c0c63e7c2c178200b40dac167efe53d46 -- thefile 54bb0defc14d937ed2bfd93a705cb6892d3766dd e818d3b0cfc363ee7624c7a61f3e07f837312ad1 5371b8082c6e7ecd9a71c37f92442eaeebe33ebc d031120a39fbbb390363b9515152362e7951790c 2d0f04e918ca4fc74bd14f536acfc96efdcdc4f3 If the output is non-empty, then you know the translation is outdated. > move since we save bandwidth of diff etc. (Of course diff script needs > to be adjusted but that is relatively simple task, I think.)

I'm not yet familiar enough with all of this but I can try to help if you point me to the stuff that needs fixing.
