Ravi, this is exactly what I was talking about. I try to translate an article from English and I'm told that the community can do it themselves and don't need our help. The same editors refuse to help us when we need content from Indic projects on English. If need be, we could have an offlist discussion about this. I don't want to make too much noise on the list.
