It's quite possible it was true once. The system isn't that old and
has been through several generations... It's also true that by
*default* you only get untranslated descriptions. However,
translations have never been locked (at least, not while I've been
here).

For DDTP this is true, for DDTSS there is a login system and language
teams can opt to only allow people with logins to edit stuff. There
are quite a few options, but they're not much used.
I hear there's a pootle thing in the works, I hope that gets going some time...
Have a nice day,
