Hi zen! It's actually a great question. First of all: I hope that
Weblate is already helping you, but I don't know if that's the case.

If it isn't, I think that the simplest way to get this information is:

 - look at the pipeline for the stable branch:
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=stable

 - look at the latest one

 - Inspect the lint-latest-po test:
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/jobs/63915

 - this will give you all errors from i18nspector. Unfortunately it
doesn't give you line numbers, which are very useful, and which are
visible in other ways. As an example,you could get the errors for
hungarian running  msgfmt --check -o
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/locale/hr/LC_MESSAGES/tails.mo
po/hr.po

If translators find it useful to have this sort of info, it's not too
much of a problem to have the appropriate tests running automatically.


>      - Whose responsibility is it to fix them? (in case that's defined)


I don't know if that's defined. However, to properly fix them some
knowledge of the specific language is required, so I believe that's the
responsibility of translators.

The only thing that someone not speaking that language can do is to
delete failing strings (which is what I do during release).

bye!
