Yes, forgetting to pull translation is one of the problem. Also other problem is packages updating strings after translation is completed.

After Beta release, one can simply run this script on fully installed translation machine and verify whether all latest translation from upstream are available in Fedora or is there any specific string breakage (i.e. New English words in package ). At the present still exploring ideas, once we have basic script ready we can further think how can we use it for more benefits to Fedora translation quality. - Pravin
