According to this page, all users, even if not logged in, can enter translation "suggestions": https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/translate+pootle+service+auth+levels These suggestions then can be accepted by a committer. That helps a little, but it raises other issues. For example, if a user is not logged in, then how do I know who gets credit for the translation? -Rob > Regards, > Andrea.
