Hi. I think there is no golden bullet, and golden model too. If coordinator have time to review all the translations in reasonable time it's better than just not doing so. I don't know the situation in other languages, but in Belarusian (which I coordinate for GNOME) there are big problems with spelling, and grammar, and lexics, and consistency among all (!) contributions. And situation seems not to advance though every time I get new translation I send review results to translator. This situation is the result of current minor language status and lack of fluent language speakers with good technical knowledge in community. So if I just drop the review task and let others "do what they want" then we will result in "pidgin-like" translation not Belarusian. Yes, percentages could be a little higher, but users won't get good results for any software at all and will just turn back to Russian or English. Of course, it depends on the language, and major ones can have more bazaar-like model. Just my 5 cents.
