Boy, was I peeved!
There is another problem too: are software maintainers incorporating your translation? This is less likely a problem for GNOME/KDE, since all po files / documents are committed into CVS/SVN, and they will be used IF maintainers upload new tarball for releases. But for other translation projects (including TP), that's a problem. Translations may end up sitting there, never incorporated into tarball if software maintainers don't care.
