I'm not totally sure I understand your question. The translations are done in launchpad. There is a separate translation project for this:
https://translations.launchpad.net/stellarium-website Those strings which are translatable are wrapped in a function call q_("text")... When the language is English, "text" is returned without modification. When the language is set to something else, a lookup is done, and the translated text is returned if it has been done if it is known. If there is no translation for the current language for the string, the English is returned. This might lead to a strange mixture of languages when the translations in launchpad are not complete, but even so... some translation is better than none, and it might encourage people to contribute :) When new English text is added, or if any editing is done of existing translatable strings, the translation process must be done: 1. Edit index.php with translatable parts wrapped in q_() functions. 2. Upload new translatable strings to launchpad 3. Wait for translators to translate it 4. Download translation data files 5. Update them and commit to bzr 6. Upload to website. In answer to your question about updates - I think yes, even a typo will mean a string has to be translated in all languages. It's a bit messy, but over all I think it is easier to manage than the way we currently do translations.
