In order to illustrate the amount of work to a CKA in both the Norwegian and international CKM, I have made this text as an example:

 I saw that there was an old phrase used in the translation of Problem/Diagnosis in the Norwegian CKM, and it had a branch where the new element "Variant" had been translated. In order to keep the archetypes aligned in the two CKMs I decided to fix the outdated phrase in the international CKM. It turned out that two Norwegians had translated it, one in each CKM. In addition, there were both Spanish and Catalan translations ready to commit, as well as six unsolved Change Requests. I also found a validate error in the Chinese translation.

All six CRs investigated, but only one seemed to be agreed upon, so I fixed only that one and left the rest for later. Some of them are awaiting response from the requester; others need discussion among the CKAs. I had to spend some time reading them thoroughly to understand the request and the discussion to each of them to evaluate whether the requests could be fixed or not. I uploaded the archetype to Archetype Designer to close the error causing the Chinese translation validation report and the one CR, which were "safe" to fix; then uploaded back to the CKM. The translation to Catalan and Spanish were both submitted to Editor for committing, but both of them were noted as translation to Catalan, so I had to investigate whether this was the case, or an error. Turned out to be a mistake by one of the translators. All translations were in different branches, so they needed to be merged.

Happy to finish my original need, I committed it. As there were new translations, I thought it was a good idea to mark the translations as published as well. Surprisingly, the Catalan were not done 100%, so that one needs to be sent back to the translator. I also found that the German translation was OK to be published, but all the other translations had missing parts and flaws. I did not notify any of the translators of this.

As the Norwegian archetype governance team strive to keep all the archetypes aligned between the Norwegian and international CKM, I uploaded the new version to the Norwegian CKM and committed it.

Time spent, all together: >1 hour. In order to go through the rest of the CRs to Problem/Diagnosis, it could take anything from half an hour, if just decline them, to several hours, depending on the discussions needed, contacting the requester, and make a decision. In addition, unknown time to contact translators and commit the remaining translations.

Mind, this is for only one of the tens, maybe hundreds of archetypes with Change Requests and translations to be dealt with.
