The last point won't work: you rather need to update the structure of
the translations yourself so that the result passes compilation and is
valid HTML.

The problem we have is that translators work on a single branch, and
that branch currently is a translation of the stable/2.18 branch.  It
does not make sense to change this before the release, and we'll likely
be locked until 2.18.1 as well.

In addition, only some translations are actually reasonably up-to-date,
so even without this impediment, you need to get the structure fixed in
a time frame independent from the ongoing translations.
