Hello fellow translators!
This is a great idea! Finally! Thank you for your work.
Perhaps this is not the better channel to convey these ideas, but:
1. Would it be possible to "block" common translations like the
License, Credits and such, to prevent the proliferation of different
translations in each package?
2. Would it be possible to "block" translations when they're
considered to be correct, after being reviewed, to prevent other
members to introduce slight changes that, sometimes, result in
agramatical sentences and/or language abnormalities?
3. Instead of "blocking" these translations, would it be possible to
insert a sign or a warning displaying the translations considered
"final" and to be repeated always (like the License) and those to be
considered final, reviewed and correct?
These are just some ideas that came to me based on the experience (and
bad experiences) I've had with Rosetta... I would like some kind of
feed-back. Is it just me? As anyone experienced and thinks the same?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Leonor Hungria

"Todo o trabalho nobre está condenado a deparar-se com problemas e
obstáculos. É importante verificar na íntegra o vosso objectivo e a
vossa motivação. Deveis ser muito honestos, verdadeiros e razoáveis. A
vossa acção deve ser boa para os outros e também para vós mesmos. Uma
vez escolhido um objectivo positivo, deveis decidir mantê-lo até ao
fim do caminho. Mesmo que o não realizeis, pelo menos não tereis
nenhum peso na consciência." - Dalai Lama
