If I understand correctly,  some translation teams attempt
systematical approaches. See [[m:Translation teams/ar]] or
[[m:Translation teams/ja]]. They have a list of ongoing translations,
and assigns each translation priority, degree of accomplishment and
whatever they prefer to mention. It seems to be maintained manually,
so it would be fitting to a team consisted in some regulars rather a
few (so mostly unorganized) translators.

By the way, motivated this discussion, I tried to implement some ideas
on this thread. I think it ugly and redundant by myself, so template
gurus, your improvement will be heavily appreciated ;)

Again I say, obviously it is redundant comparing with the
"translation" template*, and I expect we can merge it, though I don't
know how-to regretfully. I will very appreciate your help.

Since the translation template on the above is now used here and
there, it will be nice to make a new upper-compatible template as a
test and apply it to a test page. If it works well, we'll apply the
newer one to all ongoing translations.

Your ideas and proposals of improvement from a different direction
will be continously appreciated.

Cheers,
