If all developers did so, I would not have started this thread ;) Here is how I would like l10n files being handled by developers: * Developers do not modify l10n files * If they believe that a translation is wrong, ask its translator * If they are in disagrement with the translator, ask a trusted person fluent in this language (either debian-l10n-<language> or any other person) for an arbitrage. Developers should perform changes only if they are told they are right to do so. Denis
