Thanks for this description and being careful about us.

I suggest to do like websites : automatic publication with no manual action. It is the easiest and most up to date.

But we need to understand you process, to know when content is moving and when it is stable, each letter you change is a correction we have to do in all languages. We are many people, but not many per language team.

One of the goals of the new system is to handle publishing automatically, this will include translations that are ready to be published. Unfortunately, we do not have the final plan worked out yet, and I don't have a clear way to tell the translation team how it will definitively work, but I can explain my the idea I have worked out in my head and hope that it will help as we move forward. 

Step 1: Commits are made to a release branch of a document
Step 2: The CI/CD system will run and create PO files push them to zanata
Step 3: Translation team works on string in zanata as they do now
Step 4: When a translation is ready to be published it is added to the configuration file 
Step 4: The config change is checked into the release branch and the CI/CD system is kicked off again and the new translation is added to the site.

The only manual step in this whole process is to add the translations to the config once they are ready, but unfortunately I don't see a way past that to make sure we are not publishing translations that are not done or have not even been started. This step can be done a few ways. We can give translation team members access to the docs repos or we can use the pull request feature of Pagure, either way this is a much cleaner process than what he have now as a person only needs to be envolved one time in the build/publishing process to include a new translation.
