Yes, we have.

This is a quick and dirty, very dirty, primitive solution using
cron+shell scripts+cvs client+diff+some texttools+mail.
But it works well for our *.pl.html files and theirs originals.
It reports (in no more than 24 hours+mail delivery) any changes
to original English *.html files translated into Polish and our
translations themselves. Cron calls my ~/bin/gnuupdate script
once a day:
   http://www.gnu.org.pl/wrk/gnuupdate
which calls:
   http://www.gnu.org.pl/wrk/gnuget
and
   http://www.gnu.org.pl/wrk/gnudif
It doesn't report any changes to ".symlinks" files or "*.[pl.]xhtml",
but can be easily modified to look after originals for e.g. *.es.html
or any other *.LG.html files.

I hope they'll take on the idea and do it better.
