Here is the major problem: - We do not have really anyone who is responsible or even the contact addresses of translators - New translators are coming, others going. - Each translator seems to be active a short time only (except me, which is tied due to other reasons to the project). - Most of them aren't on josm-dev. Actually I currently have no idea how to fix that situation. On the other hand I assume without Launchpad and the "everyone can do" method we would have much lower number of translators and translated strings. Launchpad has a system to do translators groups with mailingslists and rules and so on. But I fear introducing this will reduce the number of participating people and thus have a contrary effect.
