I don't know how Thorsten handled that part.  I suppose what we have to do in 
the end is wait for the final rosegarden.ts and then convert it to .po, offer 
them a copy of that for their teams to work on, and convert the results back 
to .ts.  It's not ideal, but it seems worth trying as an experiment.

His idea with this is to farm out the languages we don't have anyone 
maintaining, and see what GTP can do with those translations.  Russian 
definitely should not be on the list.  This is only an experiment to see what 
we can do with languages like ca, cy, et, eu, id, ja (actually, Ribbon will 
probably show up at the last minute and take care of that one), nl, pl, and 
zh_CN.

The idea is that maybe we can get all of the translations maintained without 
having to chase people down, since we have traditionally had a lot of trouble 
keeping anyone responsible for a particular language over time.  A lot of 
these from the bottom of the translation readiness list are translations that 
someone got mostly complete for some particular release along the way, and 
then abandoned thereafter, with no one else ever coming along to pick it up.

You apparently have knowledge of GTP, and you've been our Russian translator 
forever, so if you have an opinion about any of this, please do feel 
encouraged to speak up!

For my part, I'm mostly just sitting back on this one, and watching to see 
what happens.  This experiment is not my project.
