Dan, wow! I just registered and looked at this. It really illuminates the
status of translations. For example, I looked at the status of Canadian
English for the OPAC. I was able to view statistics. I was less successful
with viewing "show goals." ("!! This software has encountered an error.  Please
tell your friendly system administrator or software developer the following:
\n %1$s\n %2$s\n The JSAN library object is missing.").

I also downloaded a zip file for the entire Evergreen Can-English
translation po file -- cool!  I extracted this file (which included all POs
-- something to warn people about) and it automatically provided me with PO
Edit (which informed me "this is the first time you use this program" -- uh
me talk pretty, too). At that point I'm at work stoppage, as it says, "You
do not have permission to run reports" and I can't seem to do anything else.

But maybe that is all permissions related... anyway, this is a really
interesting direction for monitoring/managing/mentoring/encouraging
translations!
