Putting here homeless story as described by Siebrand in an old IRC chat, couldn't find it on mingle.
real workflow would be that we have states that are based on the status of the content. so:
*(no status) when no translations made;
*in progress: at least one translation made;
*proofreading: only when all translations complete;
*ready: only when all translations are reviewed;
*published: set once published.;
*-> needs updating: once a ready or published page has changed.
