Re: [Talk-de] Help! German translation for Potlatch
Uh...my bad ;) I agree that you *could* end up with a messy result if more than two people translate an application but I still think translations should be 'free for all'. I would suggest Launchpad like approach (https://translations.launchpad.net/). If potlach already uses gettext (or can be changed) ) we could even use launchpad. Otherwise we could still use the wiki and do the translation there (eventually with automatic import to potlach). After all OSM (and of course Wikipedia) are pretty impressive proves that 'intelligence of the masses' is a working concept.

Re: [Talk-de] Help! German translation for Potlatch
I strongly oppose a multisuer translation as in the result you are likely to end up with different translations for the same term. Better to form a core team of two people dealing with this. That's the way I'm working on the localisation at Skype as well. I'd like to do the Potlatch translation into german. Anyone else with l10n experience/Noch jemand mit Übersetzungserfahrung?
