Danish translators of all major projects have agreed to "boycot" the forked 
translations of Launchpad, and do all translation upstream. (Note that in a 
few cases launchpad _is_ upstream).

If there was some automagic merging of translations from launchpad into Danish 
KDE translations I'd go absolutely berserk. How on earth could we maintain 
any kind of quality or consistency.

My point of view is that there's no way that Launchpad can become useful to 
us. Just leave them and their fork to themselves. If people are serious about 
translating they'll come to us.

Of course people should be made aware that they're working on a fork, and not 
proper KDE (or GNOME or whatever) translations.
