I think it is 27-Oct to 31-Oct for the Preview of the Installation
Guide. Then it looks like 21-Nov or 20-Nov for the final Installation
Guide. The Preview is a best-effort, we publish whatever is translated
by 31-Oct.
You are correct that those are not explicit in either schedule.
By 21-Oct, translators are quite busy for Software translation.
More time can be spent for GA than PR.
Is any chance to translate IG under Launch phase?

I think that task is, "Translate the strings in the POT file, making or
updating the PO file for your language." Is that what "drop" means?
Translatable PO files are not necessarily becoming available in order,
but can be available soon as the authors finalize. Like docs team can
drop the bombs of various documents for trans team. Each language team
will schedule how to assign the resource to catch as many bombs as
possible. Red Hat used to use the word 'drop' [1] internally so that I
use here that is all.
As far as "Translate xxx" date is pointing the earliest PO files
available date, that is fine.
[1] docs team finalize certain portion of his/her document by this date
and make available to trans team.
