I'll guess I did it the proper way, since after checking out to have 
the last versions of all files and translated them eventually , I 
always first check the web to see if there were new committed files 
between the time I last checked out and the time I'm ready to check in, 
then I checkout the whole tree after committing to check if the changes 
were effectively made. And I also check directly with webcvs and I 
always can see the files I've committed after a few seconds. I 
generally work by branch or directories, since it's the only convenient 
way for me to ensure that first I don't miss any file, second I commit 
the whole branch or directory once in a while (after adding the new 
files if needed). And at last I navigate the branch before and after 
committing to ensure that I did not miss any links and track the 
misspelling I eventually did not see before committing (ispell does not 
check grammar). I do not know how I can do more :-)

All files to tell the truth, except the tutorial branch, since there is 
still a problem with netpbm stream relating to the images. As soon as 
you told me you planned to update to release 11 on Tuesday night, I've 
made my best to comply with the dead line (which I reached), but it was 
not worth it apparently :-)

Some files in about branch (the newest ones) and in develop branch are 
not either translated either fully translated, that's why I did not 
tell you it's finished.

What is weird is that does not occur for the Spanish files, which were 
committed two days ago, but with the French files which were committed 
five days ago or two days ago, but 8 hours or so before your changes.

Maybe it should be better to do it systematically to ensure any changes 
are taken into account. Or better tell us one hour or so (or any 
convenient delay for you) before you update the package, and then we 
can tell us yes there are changes or not there are no, I mean till we 
can rely on an automatic notice, which is still pending (the guy on cvs 
hacker seems not to know how to do it, at least the last time I checked 
it, may have changed though).
