Can you please stop this nonsense just causing flame wars? I don't see _any_ 
point you're making. Just because the work is done the way is done, doesn't 
mean it's bad or good. What are the options for e.g. a danish user? Either he
likes what Erik K. (and friends) did or he doesn't, but why do you want him
to think he can't just because you can't imagine Erik is doing better 
translations on his own than you and your team?

If you find some company or some danish user group that evaluates the danish 
KDE translation on it's quality and finds that's not keeping it's promises, 
then I have to ask why this company isn't improving the translation instead 
of bad mouthing it. But why the <strong word here> you really want to start
this mess within the project itself? That doesn't make _ANY_ (and I'm 
repeating myself here on purpose) sense to me.

Greetings, Stephan
