Maybe the term «hijacked» can sound strong wordings but that's how I 
felt. To describe it better, it happens when you have defined a way 
to do translations in Debian Spanish, you follow the established way 
and rules, and suddenly someone appears, gets your job, your files and 
even without asking (this time I did not request for any help), does 
whatever he wants, upload the files to GIT server, says there are 
«errors» but it does not allow me, as the last translator, to make the 
required changes, nor instructs me about where the problem lays so I
can correct it by my own.

In brief, acting in a dictatorial way, as he were the files' owner
and dismissing your entire job. Well, that hurts, despite the status of 
the person where it comes from.

We are all working on the same goal. There's a lot of translation work 
to do in Debian and I'm fine translating other files; no problem on 
my side. This episode was just the usual frictions that happens on teams 
conformed by human people with human egos.

So let's keep working to get the job done.

Cheers,
