Yes, forgetting to pull translation is one of the problem.
Also other problem is packages updating strings after translation is
completed. This also result in loss of translation.

Right, but both of those are primarily issues for upstream rather than for Fedora packages.

Yes

No, not this.

OK.

    not clear how you envisage it fitting into the Fedora development
    process.

In Fedora development process, i think such a script/project will be
helpful like.
After Beta release, one can simply run this script on fully installed
translation machine and verify whether all latest translation from
upstream are available in Fedora or is there any specific string
breakage (i.e. New English words in package ).

Right, but as a Fedora packager if I have the latest upstream packaged and this script says I am missing translations what will I be expected to do about it?

You've already said you don't expect packagers to patch in the extra strings so we can rule that out.

So presumably I'm just supposed to open a bug with upstream to tell them and then hope they do a new release and that I can then get that in before GA?

Perfect. This is more from Translation team side. Since many time even after 100% translation in Zanata, we do not get those in Fedora release. Basically translators will report bugs for this.
