I don't see any problem, if we use a DDTP like system for the translation. Everybody can translate some text, everybody can review the translation and the 'packages' are build on the fly (without any delay from some normal package maintainers and all this binary buildd's) As normal translator/reviewer you don't need to join the Debian project. But you can. Some packages with a working upstream translation group/service (like KDE, GNOME, ...) can't join a Debian system. They need some normal translation Maintainer, who get the translations from the upstream and make normal packages. But we must avoid the dependence of the translator from the binary packages maintainers! This is IMHO one big problem today. > That's why I believe that Martin's idea to create an entry into the > BTS is the nice idea. and you must wait for the binary packages maintainers... Not nice...
