My only suggestion would be: when entering a translation for a string,
jump to the next non-translated string -- for now it only jumps to the
next string, no matter if it's already translated.

In countries where sending data through the web can be time consuming,
this UI improvement would be great.  Sending data asynchronously with
AJAX (?) may also help.
