Noriko, thanks for this reminder.  I just rejoined email from being at
an event for the last four days, and sent some email to both Docs and
L10n lists to go over the schedule and detail what needs to be done.

One point that we should make is that the Beta release notes
translation is a "soft" deadline.  There may be some changes between
Beta and GA in the release notes content.  I've reminded Docs
contributors that we should try to minimize those changes wherever
possible.

If translators do not finish their work by the Beta deadline, they are
still able to continue working through the GA deadline on that
content, which is about a month or so later.  We will try to keep POT
regenerated quickly during that time so that changes are seen as early
as possible.

Are those details helpful?
