This is clearly something that needs to be implemented yet. We mentioned this during the Extremadura i18n meeting as one of the key features. At that moment, it was pretty hard for all of us to figure all this out because the experience with Pootle inside the i18n people was still very low.....and the experience of our procedures and needs among the Wordforge people was still low as well. The concept of teams and team review policies could easily be something that we include as a goal for a GSOC project. > I don't believe this is implemented yet (and you confirmed the first one > on IRC).

Actually, it's already possible to define you as the only person able to admin the Debian Installer Dutch project. However, for this, I need you to defin Dutch among your languages in http://i18n.debian.net:8080/home/options.html > > I feel that at the very least translators should be able to lock down any > (individual) or all translations for their language before any editing is > allowed that could end up in uploads of packages. This is partially possible, I think, with the permissions management system.
