Try
https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Special:LanguageStats&language=ru
(change language=ru to whatever language code you want to see). This page
shows all translatable pages together with how far they are translated for
your language.

I don't think you can see when someone else has updates the translation -
I would assume translation updates are to improve them. But you can of
course always watch your translations so that you can see the changes on
your watch page.

The language statistics page should help with that.

That's something for the wiki guys - considering the translation extension
has been used for much larger databases than ours, I think this will not be
a problem. When it does, we have enough DBAs and mediawiki
support/developers to help us out.
