That would be very interesting. While I understand that reviewing translations is a really important thing, I'm not sure whether it makes sense for those auto-generated texts. Just an example: Paket: dict-freedict-eng-ita [...] Description: English-Italian dictionary for the dict server/client This is the English-Italian dictionary from the FreeDict project in version 0.1.1. It contains 4517 headwords (FreeDict status: too small). It can be used for the dict server in conjunction with a dict client. So the translation is more a mas which the translator prepares for his language. Reviewing 80 of those descriptions seems unnecessary overhead. But I understand the concerns.
