Both. The default for CATEGORY is the first word from the part title. Most
parts have no explicit CATEGORY. I believe in all the examples given by
William, the default CATEGORY is in effect.

I expect we'd work on updating translations in parallel with part development.
Otherwise, we'd be adding a big 'translation step' to every parts update, which
would only slow things down even more than they already are.
More specifically, I expect that updates to any one translation (ie, one
language) would come in batches, because translators would probably rather
handle them that way, rather than translating each individual part as it comes
by.
