 Could you tell me when and why these SLE translations have been
 created? In many files, especially files we (the german team) have
 proof read before the 11.1 release are very different (70%?). Many
 changes/improvements (conformity with Gnome/KDE!) are reverted, other
 strings are just translated differently - not better not worse. Of
 course some typos have been fixed, others been introduced. But in
 general I would say that at least our files recently proofread before
 the 11.1 release are better. I have the impression that for at least
 some files SLE did not make any use of our translations or real fork
 happened a long time ago. For example the installation.de.po from
 openSUSE is almost an other translation. There are only few strings
 the same and our openSUSE translations are absolutely ok. There was no
 reason to change almost every string and/or revert improvements made
 by the openSUSE team in the past. I am a bit angry about this
 situation and I don't understand why openSUSE should have a community
 based team, if there also payed translators working independently from
 us. I don't really understand why I should spend rare time in
 translating and improving translations for openSUSE, if S.u.S.E. has
 it's own teams... Sorry.

 Kind regards, Jannick Kuhr
