If all developers did so, I would not have started this thread ;)
Here is how I would like l10n files being handled by developers:
* Developers do not modify l10n files
* If they believe that a translation is wrong, ask its translator
* If they are in disagrement with the translator, ask a trusted person
fluent in this language (either debian-l10n-<language> or any other
person) for an arbitrage. Developers should perform changes only
if they are told they are right to do so.
