we will create Release candidate builds. Your changes will appear there. 
So you'll have a last chance to verify your changes.

Well, for 3.2 there has already been a Beta release. However, 
localizations were not included. I would not go with your own Beta 
release of the Sinhala version but go straight to the Final release 
reflecting exactly the OOo 3.2 releasemap.

Well, in regard to stability, features, etc. this is not a Beta. In case 
there are some errors in the translation, these can be possibly fixed in 
the 3.2.1 release. My recommendation would be not to release as Beta and 
continue your great work after the release doing additional testing and 
bugfixing and reuest to have the fixes integrated into the 3.2.1 release.
