The email thing would work but what about setting up a web page with some sort
of automatic submission system. What I see is someone has a new string that
needs tra and posts it on this page. People then submit translations and
others vote on them. After a certain time (or just whenever a new build is
posted), the most popular string is used.
The scripts to handle this wouldn't be too hard to work up. It would be best to
use some sort of database for scalability and tracking issues. You could even
have email submissions.
The main advantage of the web interface would be automation of the posting for
new translations and also allow the community to assume the burden of choosing
the most correct translations.
This is just a rough idea but if you are interested, I'll see if I can't put a
script together.
