Launchpad is actually a very simple yet powerful tool for translations. As
an English speaking based locale I found it very easy to understand and
start translating by reading the instructions on the wiki. I cannot speak
for non-English based languages as I'm not sure how well the instructions
are documented in other languages.

I am far from a developer and have never contributed a line of code yet I
was able to self teach myself how to contribute to translations. I'm not
suggesting there aren't areas that can be improved but just wanted to say
that in my years of experience Michael's recent issues appear to be an
exception rather than the rule. As Daniel has already provided some great
advice to Michael on his current situation I will not get involved in that
and confuse the matter further but I did want to point out that the system
that is currently in use is far from perfect but more than adequate.
