[zanata-users] Bulk-approval of translations?

[Sean Flanigan]

From the project maintainer's point of view, I think it could be argued
that "requires-approval" projects should only include approved
translations when pulling (unless otherwise specified).  Otherwise
unreviewed translations could be accidentally included in a
software/documentation release.  So this is a quality issue.

Then if someone wants to fetch the translated (non-approved)
translations to do some offline translation, that could enabled by a
client option.

And then you have the problem of preview builds, where someone
(maintainer or a translator) pulls down all the translations to generate
some sort of preview (eg a Publican build, or a software build), perhaps
even as part of the review process.  For preview builds, you may want
the unapproved translations.

The problem is that all three use cases are using the same command, and
the most sensible default is different for each use case.

Whatever the default should be, we definitely need the ability for the
client to choose.
