Well, I'm definitely happy to see the work being prioritized. Anybody
else? :)

I found this thread:

Then this feature was added to Rosetta, for some packages the priority
was set, but then this initiative stalled - probably because it's a huge
job and the Rosetta developers were always too busy.

Well, I just split up the work by gui/docs/package descriptions, and on
Ubuntu/Kubuntu basis (there could be xubuntu for docs, if we had the
manpower). Then I tried to list the important things - either because
they are Ubuntu-specific, or a highly visible part of the default setup
and not completely translated by upstream.
Also, we decided to translate first the package descriptions visible in
gnome-app-install, there is a table for that too. Sometimes, I update
the tables and send a mail to our list to ask for help. Then,
translators indicate if they work on a given template and if it's ready
to review/done.
That's it, no rocket science here, but works pretty well.
