Yes, it seems they are working silently on there own. I see someone worked on 
kdelibs and parts of koffice. :(

How are the KDE teams supposed to know what changes are done in Rosetta? I do 
not want to create an account and check the ubuntu files for changes.

What about Rosetta changes the KDE teams do not want to get in? We are working
hard to get our translation in a consistent and high quality state. There's no
way a web user can afford this without having to learn about the team 
processes and guidelines first. As far as I know none of the german ubuntu 
translators did contact the german KDE team before working on the german 
translations in unbuntu.

How do I explain a KDE translator that his work is already done from someone 
else skipping the team processes? 

The only acceptable way for a team coordinator to handle this is to dismiss 
the Rosetta change. I will not dismiss the work of a team member even if the 
Rosetta change is better. Otherwise I will loose my hard working team very 
soon.

Don't get me wrong, but at the moment this looks more like a parallel 
community to me.

Regards,
Stephan
