The issue appeared more than once, so if I were admin, I would set up a
simple script that fetches some information about translated files. If a
file on a mirror does not match to TER's copy, I would send an e–mail to
myself. This way I will immediately know if language files are not copied
correctly. That's the idea. But it needs knowledge of where and how files
are stored.

Exactly.

I'll try to find time in my schedule. My employer gives me time to work on
core, I will make that as a part of core work.

Everything is fine, no problem at all. The main thing is that we get things
moving :)
