During the 'build' of the website, all strings from transifex are pulled
into the build (for every build and language).
As for NOW this is 20 th of june (and I just started a new build....)

Reason it is not done every day yet, is that we have some troubles
handling git-changes after a build.
So we do it by hand once every couple of days.

We invested pretty much time in making it easier to build the
docs/website with paver. So you can almost instantly create your own
build (see github readme for howto).

Building the docs/website is pretty resource intensive and we were (not
anymore) running the builds on a machine with limited resources.

We are trying to automate the build and I think it will be build once a
day then.

Not sure where you got the 2.0.1 from. But we translate the latest
stable build, which is 2.2 currently.

http://docs.qgis.org/2.2/

(we still also have 2.0 and 1.8 available)

The lastest (testing/master) docs are on http://docs.qgis.org/testing,
but those are not uploaded to transifex untill we branch the 2.4 version
(of documentation).

IF you think that you find errors, OR are translting something that is
NOT part of the 2.2 docs, let me know immidiatly so I should fix that.
Be as precise as possible, so we can investigate.
