I am really puzzled with this situation. I belong to the spanish KDE=20
translation team and I use Kubuntu at home, and Debian at my job, and I do=
=20
care about inconsistent translations in my normal everyday environment.

After reading the posts of this thread I have exported one of this PO files=
=20
translated by somebody using the web interface and "kompared" it with our=20
official latest version. I should clarify that the file was 100% translated=
=20
to spanish. The changes in Rosetta have just spoiled the translation. In=20
Spanish we do not capitalize all words of a sentence, like in English; we=20
only capitalize the first word. See an example for this PO file:

POT file: New Feeds Feed
KDE stable: Nuevo origen de noticias
Rosetta: Nuevo Origen de Noticias.

Even the Rosetta spanish translation team advises to not capitalize all wor=
ds=20
because it is incorrect in spanish. In this particular case, the Rosetta=20
contributor just changed the translation adding no value to it and he manag=
ed=20
to spoil it decreasing its quality.=20

So, my question is, what can we do from the KDE translation teams to keep o=
ur=20
translations as best as possible and not having to duplicate our effort by=
=20
monitoring what is going on in Rosetta?.

Does Kubuntu plan to import into Rosetta the KDE SVN translations  before e=
ach=20
release?. Or let us put it another way, Does Kubuntu plan to sync with KDE=
=20
before each release or is this the begining of fork for the KDE=20
translations?. I think it would be a real pity if this is the beginning of =
a=20
fork and Kubuntu will never sync again with KDE.

Pablo.
