What about something like, "the date of the version of the source text 
on which this translation is based"?

A bit more vague about the actual workflow involved, since as Kevin 
points out, this attribute may be used outside of the specific TEI 
use-case; but also more accurate--no?--as presumably it depends on 
something more fixed than just when someone got around to emailing the 
translators...?
