Comment 3 for bug 264122

There are some things that we can improve, given the time. But I don't see any actual bugs alluded to here, and the issues won't go away completely! For example, changing an English string in a template means removing one and adding another—but that's just basic gettext operation. There's no way for software to decide whether an old string and a new one are "the same one, just differently worded" or very different messages that may or may not happen to be in the same place. The best we can do is recognize some specific patterns and/or require more information from the user.

The same goes for auto-approval: manual review is needed when the application does not get enough information to decide what to do with a file. It's already possible for the uploader to provide more of that information (you can upload to a specific template or translation) but they usually don't, and the system is such that it's usually not necessary. We can do many things to improve the system's guess at what the uploader intends, but it's never going to be perfect for all cases.
