For me this situation is inadmissible. Sincerely, if this keeps going further, 
as a Spanish user, I would prefer to use KDE directly in English... And as a 
member of the Spanish translation team, I feel angry seeing my work spoiled 
(and very puzzled considering my belonging to that team, too).

I don't think Rosetta is better for KDE localization than the current l10n 
teams' methods are. Maybe it's good enough to maintain localized only Ubuntu 
stuff (not KDE, GNOME, etc.).

Even more, Rosetta is not open source. What's the point in encouraging people 
to use it?
