This raises a good point. I wonder whether we could add in a step into 
our build process which checks the version of translated docs, and if 
the translation is older than the English version, we inserted a line 
"This translation has not been updated to the most recent English 
version. Please compare with the English version for latest details".

Matthias,
Some projects do take responsibility for updating some of the 
translation pages themselves. However, it is not a requirement.
