It occurred to me that we can use the PendingReview table for this.
Currently it only tracks reviews but in fact it could be a log. It
would require some changing of the code that determines reviews. It
would also handle your issue of identifying translations you have done
something with earlier.

Yes, that's what I had in mind.

What would it mean to "lock" a translation. That nobody can do
anything until unlocked. No review,no changes, nothing? But still
allow comments? I assume it's to allow discussion about some point?

If you change the meaning of the PendingTranslation table, then this
is solved also.

Have a nice day,
