Tom is correct.
a-2 is done automatically by Transifex.
Horizon team only need to make sure the po files (only po files under "en"
folder)
are up to date.

All the steps of (b) need to be done manually.
I would like to have only high quality translations in the release.
I hope to merge only those languages with 100% translated and 100%
reviewed.

In the last i18n team meeting, we set the deadline to merge translations to
git repository
to be Sep 24th. French team, Korean team and Chinese team don't have
problems
to finish the translation and review by that day. If there are different
opinions, I'm open to discuss.

BTW, I think, in order to verify all the strings in the UI are displayed
correctly, at least
two language teams can try to set up Horizon under their local language and
test. Chinese team can
be one of the tester. We need another volunteer.
