As far as I know our imports doesn't work that way. In fact, OO.org
imports take a couple of days so it's a bit difficult that the imports
set the flags because I doubt we get more than one upload for
OpenOffice.org in one week (dapper is already stable), perhaps there
were an error and we could get two uploads in a week, but 3 or 4...
doesn't sounds reasonable...

It could be a bug in our side, of course, but I'm not quite sure whether
it's related with upstream updates. First of all, could you check with
all people in your translation team that no one is doing that manually?

Unfortunately, we only track translation changes, but the 'Needs review'
flag changes is not tracked.

Short answer:

Any untranslated string in Rosetta that is translated upstream is set to
the translated value in upstream, the others are not touched at all.

Long answer:

Jordi, please, could you add a long answer to our wiki faq? there are a
lot of people asking for details about it.
