QUEST_DESC_08@SRQ00: "suspicious"
Is Mestar distrustful or questionable? Both would fit, given the context.
Also, in SRC03B and SRC03C, I have a few outro/intro that I find hard to translate (and I haven't played them yet). I guess that they are still wip.

The text is read like: "Mestar, a suspicious figurine that is hostile oriented towards our factions in the area. We must engage his forces and defeat him in order to gain more ground over the area."
Questionable over suspicious? Well, probably that over "Distrustful" as it seems to refer with whom against someone.
I have not actively been working on the third scenarios as I been busy with other things. I will return to those when I have the time and some feedback on the scenario. I have not heard anything still about 3B so far.
Thanks. Once, I'm over with translating the changes, I rush Scen 1 (and make a save at the end for further testing), and try and win over Scen 2. Last month, I was overwhelmed by the new settings; I hope that vassalizing Derismentat to please the Archons was a bad or hasty decision, and that my general playstyle and skill are not uncompatible with the campaign! Only then, I can enter Scen 3.
I believe most campaign missions have some quirks, however, dealing with story-related issues can be quite cumbersome especially after edits and new additions. Last time I talked with Drax he added some new additions, but only comments to the third scenarios. The 3C is still an open shot and can be changed a lot so I would not recommend to translate it further before it's finalized. The progress will be open for quite some time and meanwhile, I lack quite a much story-related things connections on the Shadow Realm campaign due to the number of loose connections with the general story and the content that is hard to implement. I mostly worked out from temporary templates as the campaign production was finished long before the actual story is finished which created some issues in general as the story content is not finished. However, regarding the localization and the story.
Would it be easier if I split the word documents of the draft into 3A,3B and 3C into separate documents to get a better overview?

The docs (I forgot to read again 
) are useful to replace dialogues in their context, and to know who is talking to whom. But I don't think it would be worth extracting knowledge bit from it into separate documents. Docs are fully understandable as they are, imo. Moreover, they don't provide any clarification to dialogues as dialogues are just extracted from them. I just wrote some comments about Scen 02 by the way.
I wait for coming to scen 3 and will comment any difficult text in the draft doc as well, instead of here, if you don't mind.

vanilla GameConcepts.xml lacks some links related to DLC races, dwellings, and roamer sites. As you guess, this gets aggravated with Shadow Realm that adds more of them. Once/If the proper pages in the ToW are ready, links have to be added in GameConcepts.xml, but perhaps wait for the PBEM & Balance team to update their own version of the file with DLC data, before to add SR data.
