Me too ... except for two minor problems:

- Sometimes we need to translate something differently, either because
  the original string has changed due to an Ubuntu patch, or because
  we disagree with Upstream on correct/consistent vocabulary -- or just
  because the Upstream translation is wrong.

- We need our translation in there *now*, not whenever Upstream decides
  to release a new version with our translations in it (or not).
  For many programs, translations will always lag behind the
  native-language version. That's a fact of life; Rosetta will have to
  accomodate that.

So, sorry, but your "only" doesn't seem to work.
