--- Comment #17 from Michał Dybczak <michal.dybc...@gmail.com> ---
I added myself to the PL lang mailing list just to fight for the change back to
"Anuluj".

First, there are maybe 1-2 persons working on translation for years. Because of
the antiquated system, it's hard start and help with translation. Secondly,
because those persons do all the work, they hold also the right to make the
decisions and the voice of others carry no weight.

I tried to argument the best I could but to no avail, since I'm, an outsider
and have no experience and knowledge, I can't win this. There is no democracy
in that area.

There were even someone from the KDE dev team that ordered them to reverse the
translation, and they refused it. So he made clear that this wasn't a request
and that they have no choice... They refused... because in reality, because of
that obsolete system, no one can force anything.

Even if we were on git system, someone would have to read and review pull
requests, but maybe there would be someone who would be somehow responsible to
other KDE devs and abide the hierarchy.

Anyway, this is super frustrating situation and it hurts KDE development. From
one side, those few persons ensure that KDE is properly translated which is
great, on other hand, they just don't listen to anyone, because they know they
have all the power based on the work they put in. In a way they are also right.

So we landed in a stalemate situation.

This is why it takes so long... The whole language support would have to be
moved into git system and integrated with the whole KDE team hierarchy. This
requires incredible amount of work, and a risk of losing the very few lang
developers we have. On other hand we could have better chance for fresh blood.
The current situation isn't sustainable forever anyway.
