Yes, I make the first translator like a owner of the translation. And since 2(?) weeks, only the first translator can upload a new translation. If a other translator send a changed translation to the server, it will send a mail to the first translator with the old and new translation and a diff. This is the first step of the BTS in the ddts. Now we have only the notification mail. In future the server will make this: - the translator must resende the package (maybe unchanges) or close the bug - If the translator don't send the bug back to the system in 4 weeks, he will remove as translator of this package and the bug submitter get a 'you can take over this package' mail - If the submitter don't take over the package, the server will put the description back in the pool again. Also can every coordinator change a translation on request. > I rather like a more dispersive equality model like CVS.

The server need a translator per description, it need a email address. If a maintainer change a description, the server will send a update mail to the translator. For it the server need the email address. > I only read the FAQ of DDTS. I have never experiened this situation. > Sorry if I misunderstand the FAQ. one thing to the ddts: The ddts is only at the beginning and I change daily the code. We have now only 60% of the ddts running. I have a long TODO list and some ideas for the future. If you have problems or improvements, please write a mail.
