Serious problems with missing translations!

[Erdal Ronahi]

Hi,

to me it looks that for a long time Rosetta has not been synchronized
with upstream. And the translations from Breezy have not yet been
imported into Dapper. The language packs that are delivered with
dapper are in fact not up to date. But I am confident that this will
happen.

The other issue is what will happen with translations that are
different in upstream. That is a serious problem:

If the translation upstream overrides the one in Rosetta, corrections
made in Rosetta are lost. If the translation in Rosetta overrides the
one in Rosetta, official translations may be overridden with less
correct ones.

This has been discussed here before, I don't remember exactly what the
solution was. I think the team leaders can decide, whose translations
become official.

Maybe someone can provide information about when Dapper will be opened
for translation and what to do until then.

Regards,
Erdal
