Public bug reported:
In the discussion on gnome-i18n-list (http://mail.gnome.org/archives
/gnome-i18n/2008-January/msg00227.html) most translators would prefer if
their upstream translations would be locked in Launchpad so that it is
impossible to change them. Of course people should still be able to
extend existing translations by translating new strings (though we would
prefer if they did it upstream) but should not be able to touch any
translation that has been checked-in upstream.
The reasons:
- Downstream translators often don't know about policies of the upstream
language teams and many teams have a very strict review system
- Upstream teams get bug reports about strings that are correct upstream but
have been changed in launchpad
- Duplicate work for translators
- Importing stuff from launchpad (which is not easy anyway) becomes even more
difficult when strings have to be merged.
