Two thoughts:

1. Put a notice onthe t-q-s-g/index.html that says what is updated and
what is not;
1.1 Put a similar notice on the top of all translated guides that refers
to the canonical index.html as a reference to see what is up-to-date of
translations
1.2 This is a manual process, so sucks for that.
1.3 This could be applied to other translated documents.

2. Another manual process would be to populate all out-of-date
translations with a watermark image "Translation Out of Date"
2.1 This could be made automagic, that is, when the POT file in CVS is
changed for a guide, all translated guides get the watermark until the
corresponding PO file is updated.

Most likely, since this is an essential CMS need.
