yes - we do :)

Oh - I need to know this. I thought you're using it already ...

Probably you haven't created the gimp-help.xml files for every language
which are build during the HTML creation process. I fixed the error
message which should be more verbose now.

The script 'show_translation_progress.py' parses the help ids found in
the gimphelp-ids.h and compares with the ids found the gimp-help.xml
fore each translation. It can also print lists for missing / not maching
ids.

The tool is already there. I resurrected it and it needs some polishing
and maybe some more features. That's all.
