You might change your mind, as soon as you see 20 Mails focusing just on the question if a certain string should be "via Doppelklick" or "per Doppelklick" - and all the discussion would be in German. There are lots of discussions within l10n teams to find the correct(tm) wording - and all this discussion (or the result of this discussion) is important for the product. So - imho this kind of discussion belongs to the OOo project but needs to be in the translator's native lang. regards, André
