Actually, you'll have to do that, and that's on purpose.  We still
want to keep ability to modify strings coming from packages, and
having a one-click option would encourage ignoring those translations
which indeed have problems.

However, note that once you revert the string, it will continue
getting updates from upstream without the need to re-revert it again.

I know how it works for GNOME and Ubuntu: they are integrated whenever
GNOME modules have a release, or at the very least, when GNOME does a
full release (eg. 2.19.1 on April 23rd, .2 on May 16th, .3 on
June 6th, .4 on June 20th, .5 on July 11th, .6 on August 1st, then
beta 1 on August 15th...), so at most 3 weeks between syncs.  However,
packaging GNOME modules usually takes between 1 and 5 days, so you
should delay all those dates by that much.

So, in essense, this depends on how often does Ubuntu package relevant
modules which include updated translations from upstream.

Cheers,
Danilo
