Scottish Gaelic

Hi :)  
There is a deep division between the team working on the translations for Scottish Gaelic and an individual.  

I've been worrying about how we can resolve the situation.  Even though it is uncomfortable and we would normally leave it to the individuals to resolve the situation i think it would be good if there was some way we could step in and do something.  Otherwise this festering problem is only likely to get worse leaving us with at least 2 angry scotsmen and even just 1 is dangerous enough.  


Could we create a new 'team' and language code and move the individual's translations into that?  Then the rest of the team can carry on with the good work they do without finding all their work undone by the individual?  


There are several dialects within the country and deep divisions between people from different areas.  Edinburgh vs Glasgae vs the isles and even between places even closer together.  

So, could we set-up a separate language code and team?  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi Michael,

Can you clarify if you mean 13.04, or infact the new release of 13.10?

If it is 13.04, as you stated, this was released in April this year
which is /after/ the translation you linked to was approved.
Therefore, it wouldn't be possible to be in 13.04.

It would be worth checking if it is correct in 13.10, which was released today.
