ok, we are progressing.
You definitively are the right person to understand it all!

I am a translator for the KDevelop website and each time there is a cvs commit 
on one of the english webpage, I get an email indicating me which page has 
been changed. It's up to me then to find out what was changed (I use 
Cervisia, there is a last change menu) then I update the fr pages and commit 
them.
This is all done with some kind of script.
The one that could tell you more is Sandy Meier <[email protected]>

It's not of great help, sorry,
