I believe 24 hours on normal development is acceptable, since you should 
do a commit overnight, even if you haven't finished.

The use I intended was that first, you check the status pages for 
availability of a module. If it is available, and you intend to 
translate it, you take it. Then you do a cvs up, to make sure you're up 
to date. Then you work on it for as long as you wish, do a commit, and 
release it again if you don't intend to keep working on it for a while. 
If you change your mind and you don't intend to work on it anymore, 
release it straight away. If you only take it before you do a commit, 
you leave a lot of room for conflicts.
