I wonder if it makes sense for proper attribution to separate people who provide translations from those who sent patches to Trac code, because making such patch requires significantly more efforts in learning Trac code and toolchain than translations. It is not like somebody will feel discouraged because of that, but this will give them more points in their resumes.
No, it doesn't make sense. We don't keep track of what exactly people did to earn an entry in the THANKS file, except sometimes in the commit message. The only thing is that the contribution was deemed to be *significant*, that's all there is to it. Note that quite often, people who contributed translations have also contributed patches, so flagging someone as "translator" only would be wrong. Finally, as a translator myself, I can assure you that bringing a translation to a good quality level and complete coverage represents quite *more* work than the occasional bug fix ;-)
