Tracking needed translation updates

[greggman]

I'm thinking of trying to auto generate a page that shows each article and whether or not a given translation for that article is up to date. The easiest way would be to check at build time if the english article is newer than the translated article. The problem is even minor typo fixes would show up as a translated article being out of date.

Any thoughts?

Maybe I could pick some metric like more than N lines for changes? Or maybe this is not a useful feature.

Perhaps N characters of change might be a better metric as if there are several small typo fixes that change a few characters on each line, that could show up as 10 lines changed. but only 10-20 characters changed. If there is a meaningful change (i.e. not just typo fixes), the amount of characters would be quite large (probably 100+) but the lines changed might be only 10-15 lines.

Or maybe just add the date the translation was updated and the date the english version was updated at the top of the page.
