Indeed I think this requires a bit of thinking before action.

Versioning is what worries me most. Now the more we can just rely on 
TCEmain, the easier it will be to solve, as we can hope versioning will 
be handled transparently.

My idea was the following: when a record is moves, copied or deleted 
(and I guess we should care about undelete too, now that the recycler is 
close to getting into the core), we should fetch all the translations of 
that record (that are in the same workspace) and simply add those 
records to the list of records that are affected by the action (so it's 
a kind of pre-processing, before TCEmain really kicks in).

For copy we additionally need to make sure that the copies of the 
translations will properly relate to the copy of the original.

What problems would you foresee?

Cheers
