I think we should get to the stage as soon as possible where we can
tell the translators to start working on the material we have without
having to change major numbers of existing strings which would result
in their work being wasted.

That doesn't have to be a hard freeze, we can still add material where
we have gaps, but we should be in a place where they can start working
as soon as possible. Once that is done, we can then use some further
time to fill in gaps and then allow the translators time to

In terms of time periods, I think that we should aim to start
translation work around the time of the release, and then aim for a
final string freeze two weeks after, and then a final release with
translations four weeks after that.

However this is all subject to whether those time frames are
realistic. If we think more time is needed for documentation or for
translating, we can take it.

I'm comfortable with doing several updates so we could aim for a
non-translation upload at the time of our final string freeze, then
another upload one a month after the release with translations, and
another with more updated translations two months after the release.
