Transdiff is second part of "String Breakage Monitoring System" - whose first part is Zanata Sync. Zanata Sync tries to keep upstream updated with new translations, making chances greater that extra translations are packaged too, which is to be verified by transdiff. Basically an attempt to tie-up upstream, translation platform and release stream. I am doing a project[1] on the similar lines and perhaps we may give some more time to Transdiff. Basically the scope may be kept limited to "identifying string breakage in fedora packages".

I don't really understand the logic here...
I would expect anything in Fedora to be built with whatever translations
are provided in the upstream release - are you saying that packagers are
routinely removing such translations for some reason? or just forgetting
to package the extra translations?
Or are you proposing that packagers should be pulling translations from
some additional source above and beyond what upstream provides?
Zanata appears to be a web based translation platform that developers
can use so I would expect the workflow for a package that uses Zanata to
be that upstream pulls the latest translations from it at regular
intervals and incorporates them in the releases they make which then get
packaged in Fedora.
I'm not saying we should package a tool for analysing translation status
as I'm sure it will be useful to upstream developers but it's not clear
how you envisage it fitting into the Fedora development process.
