Hi,
I don't agree with this.
No one want worst translations. Maybe a not experienced translator is more=
=20
error-prone, but this doesn't mean to be conscious. I'm not sure but all of=
=20
us have had no experience as translators sometime, aint?

Rossetta is not the way to go due mainly to three reasons: It's based on=20
proprietary software, it's distro-tied, and it doesn't hold the concept=20
of "translation owner". This being the worst.

However the idea of a web-based system for colaborative translation is good=
,=20
as the success of rosetta shows.

There are other projects which allows this, for instance Pootle, which also=
=20
allows to work offline (as is done now) and upload files.
At the present time, Debian is also working with Pootle for a future i18n=20
infrastructure for that OS. iirc, there is a student in the SoC working on=
=20
it.
Once this system is done, why not set it up within KDE to attract more=20
volunteers?

=2D-=20
Best Regards
