David "There is a plan that AMOS will still generate ZIP packs containing the most recent translation for higher versions. So in this case, language packs for Moodle 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 would contain [hotquestion.php] from the 2.1 pack. That would allow admins to use older version of a contributed add-on in higher versions without relying on the maintainer."

That is a very good idea, that would be extremely useful for many administrators and translators.

Cheers big grin

And it should be implemented now! See MDLSITE-2004 for details. Translators just need to "touch" their language packs somehow (it should be enough to translate a single missing string in some file at 2.0 version of your language) so that AMOS rebuilds ZIP packages. Then, if you download the ZIP from http://download.moodle.org/langpack/ it should contain contributed plugins translated at lower versions, too.

Hope this helps!

Update: all language packs have been re-generated so there is no need to touch the translation now. You can easily check it by downloading the ZIP of your language for Moodle 2.4. Inside the ZIP, you should find translations made on lower versions in AMOS, too (unless there is an explicit translation for 2.4, of course).
