Just my own 2c: The KDE officials can hardly sort out such stuff because they 
are no experts for language XX -- that's exactly what the translation teams 
are for. IMHO, the only possibility would be to let matters sort out 
themselves and take no steps -- which would mean that the old coordinator is 
the new coordinator. Theoretically, it should be possible to create a new 
team and have two variants of one language available (though I would not like 
that if I were a KDE official).

But shouldn't it be possible for both teams then to work *together* instead of 
*against each other* wasting precious time and effort?

Cheers

Coordinator and main translator of the Upper Sorbian Team
(right now green with envy about others having obviously a problem with too 
many translators :-)
