*sigh* do I really have to put sarcasm tags everywhere? I'm sure the original poster knows pretty well, that "yelling" is not the appropriate form of reporting such issues. I just used his words. :) >> We template uploaders have nothing to do with that. :) > > Quite the opposite, you can teach/empower translators to become more > familiarized with how FOSS projects work and how they can become > better citizens. :) My point was that we *template uploaders* have nothing to do with the *upstream developers* who put those comments into the code. The original poster did the right thing, he just barked up the wrong tree. ;) Therefor the "pointer" to upstream. Well, I guess I shouldn't hit the reply button when still half asleep... ;) Cheers Arne -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
