AFAIK Usually localization works by replacing known strings with
translated version, so if the source changes, the translated version is
simply not found (rather than showing the outdated translation).

Then don't work on localizing docstrings.  As I said, it doesn't really
matter where we start.  And not everyone needs to start at the
same place.  There's no much work to do here, that there's no strong
need for coordination.
