Looks pretty good actually. Haven't played with it too much, but it
seems to meet the goals.

Ah, that problem. I was thinking that in the list of pending
translations there should be a warning that a part of this translation
is shared with another. Or even more draconian, don't allow a
translation to be fetched if it shares a part with another pending
translation.

But this brings me back to my question: locked means not allowed to
make any changes, but still allow comments?

Right, so you can simply flag all the descriptions where the current
user has done something with before.

Have a nice day,
