It works like this for 1.1, yes. For 1.0 it hasn't been a big problem as
strings haven't changed in a long while (except for one in 1.0.9).

Yes, this is a problem I'm aware of. As 1.1 is a development series, I
wasn't too worried about it. On the other hand, I thought we would have
as many releases as we had with the 0.x series. Whenever the 1.2.0 is
near, I'll try to get Chris to post pre-releases before the real
releases, so all translators can get them done correctly. Right now,
pre-releases are rare as it's a development branch after all, and when
there is one, I don't submit it to the TP, as I can't be certain that
strings won't change again between the pre-release and the final
release.
If you have any suggestion, it'll be welcome, of course. I sometimes
send the CVS po to the Galician translator (which I know in person) when
I see that there are many string changes in CVS. But that doesn't scale
for all the teams :)
