Pah, let's require all maintainers to be able to fix all
translation-bugs on their own. It should be a requirement to be fluent
in all nuances of all languages to be a maintainer. Right? I mean, you
must be able to fix any bug in the package just because you NMU
a new translation, so you better be able to fix any translation-bug if
you fix a memory-leak, right?
