No, nothing got reverted.  SLE11 translations are based on the approved
SLE10 SP2 translations plus new translations.  These new translations
are either done from scratch or based on openSUSE or upstream
translations.

Some of the 11.1 translations were done "too late".  For example, even
shortly before GA the German openSUSE translations were rather mixed and
thus we have had to use the SLE10 SP2 translations as the basis.

I admit that in the past SLE translations surfaced in the openSUSE world
via the memory files, but we never exchanged existing translations
directly or intentionally.  Lately, I stopped adding translations from
the SLE branches to the memory files of the trunk.

Please check whether this actually happened in the trunk of the SVN.
Maybe, something weird happened by accident.  Otherwise it would help a
lot if you create a bug entry telling us which messages you have had to
fix.
