Hi Shaun,

Good question! There's no need to worry about translations except for 
the first stable release of each cycle, since that's the first release 
intended for end users rather than developers and beta testers. There's 
supposed to be a 3.38 translation deadline in the schedule on 
Wednesday, September 9: "translations committed after this point may be 
too late to be included; maintainers should not release 3.38.0 tarballs 
until after this day." However, it's actually completely missing from 
the schedule [1]. I'll investigate to see what went wrong when 
generating the schedule and get that fixed.

Michael
