Thanks all of you who answered this question of mine.
This is what I wrote to tony, who is the editor of this chapter:
Hi Tony,
Thanks for your answer. I just did not know this expression, it looked a
bit awkward to me. And of course I should have consulted my dictionary
first :(
There is no need to adjust English language expressions so that
non-native speakers understand. It is my duty as a translator to find
out what a less common expression means. I already felt stupid that I
sent this question to the mailing list.
Best regards,
Hannie

"Keep tabs", and its variants are slang for "keeping track of".

publishing, and....
Can anyone explain to me what "keep tabs" means?
