Well, I think you'll find that some people have given up on this extension.

One reason for that is that the developer(s) document nothing; so they don't seem to be interested in correct translations (so my statement above is my personal interpretation of things -- you'll have to evaluate their accuracy).

Another is that some of the key terms in this extension just get changed once in a while: so, if you start a terminology list, as I did, be prepared to keep changing it.

Another is that when you do a formal "review" you're doing a "revision". If you then mix into this the term "revision" as in page history, things can get confusing. In some languages it's a pretty acute problem: for example, I had to go through all the individual messages and do a strict separation of both uses.

All of this work is wasted when someone else comes in and starts translating unawares. So, to keep it right, you'll have to police it. Then we have the problem that once in a while messages come in already "translated" (god knows from where). These get inserted without fuzzying. I haven't checked if that has happened with messages of this extension.

So, good luck keeping that right. Mind you, the extension hasn't been changed for some time now, so it may be stable enough now to justify the effort. The only place where I know it is used is at mediawiki.org.
