I just tried to think how one can get the necessary information without 
requiring access to Pootle's inner workings.

Unless I'm mistaken, the changes are committed to the "translation 
database" without any trace of who did what.  In other words, AFAIK, 
Pootle does not keep log of which segment was translated by which user, 
and/or when each segment was translated.  This is a terrible deficiency 
in Pootle (a rather unexpected one, too).

The Gettext PO format does not support attribution at message level. 
Translators are acknowledged in the header, that's all.  And PO files 
created by Pootle only acknowledges the last translator.  So hey, if you 
want to know if you're the last translator of a file, just download it 
from Pootle and check the header if your name is there.

But perhaps I'm mistaken... I would love to be corrected in this.
