yes, but parsing 587 versions to find 222 contributors (maybe
a little less, a mapper may add several name:xx) leaves me speechless.
especially since some of the contributors did not add the translation
on this object but on one of the other 2 "France" objects, and are
then copied like in the previous version.
which means looking at the versions of 3 objects, that's more version
to check.
to avoid going crazy, it would require to write a script to do the job, 
including posting changeset comments and adding a link for translation 
into the user's local language (if known)
