Denis already explained the current workflow and a way to have an idea
of tracking the state just by looking at the Git commits (which may be
easier than my point of view). I just want to try and explain what I
didn't succeed to earlier.

Actually it does (relatively to the 3.29 here): you can see on the last
line that the translation is complete: “30484 translated, 0 fuzzy, 0
untranslated ==> 100.00%”. At the beginning of the process, the
2010-10-20, (the “Sync to man-pages 3.29” commit), the same command
displayed:

man7 pages were not up to date yet: 3+5 and 7+3 strings were not in yet
translated. I updated man7 (“(fr) man7 update” commit) the following
day, so this command displayed:

> $ LANG=C make stats

man7 pages were then fully translated, and 12+32 strings needed to be
translated in the rest of the manual pages.

There might be a way to automatically get this sort of information: the
release version (the “X.Y or “xxxxxxx” of the previous “Sync to
man-pages X.Y” or “Sync to upstream xxxxxxx” commit as explained by
Denis) and display it in a fashionable way like:

	http://i18n.debian.net/l10n-pkg-status/a/adduser.html

for example, but I don't know how to do it, and I wonder if it worth it.

Regards

David
