Hello, I would have liked it very much if you had contacted me before all of this, because I have been involved in this for many years, and there's a couple of issues you must be aware of. I started translating in the year 1999, and between 2003-2004 I got burnt out, so I stopped completely. Then I started translating again when I got messaged by Christian about some incomplete translations. I half-grudgingly fixed it, then fixed some other translations, and when I noticed I had 100% in the 5 levels. However, even though I'm translating stuff again, I still consider myself burnt out, so I set myself two conditions to deal with the condition: 1- the translation must be the very best I can achieve. I hate bad translations with a passion. I want to be proud of what I do. 2- I must work alone. If someone else wants to work on something I'm already working on, I stop. I have no interest in help, contributions or coordination. I only expect people to tell me if they find any errors. I follow these rules faithfully: recently, mancomun.org imported my Firefox 1.5 translation to make a Firefox 2.0, so I stopped the Firefox 2.0 translation I was doing. Of course, they never told me they had done that; I learned of that while looking at my referrer logs. I don't want to stop what I'm currently doing in Debian, so these are my conditions: 1- I'm translating d-i and debconf templates. You will never translate anything having to do with d-i or debconf templates. 2- only I set the criteria I'll follow when translating. I set these conditions to deal with burnout, as I said before, and if they aren't respected, I will have no other choice than to withdraw from Debian translation to protect my health, and I don't want to do that. Writing this message was hard for me, so I hope you understand. -- Jacobo Tarrío | http://jacobo.tarrio.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
