Just an example: Oh I do understand perfectly what you mean.

But I understand > the concerns. It is indeed a repetitive work once you have an established (reviewed) translated template. And lots of times we (translators) have hoped for some system that would make those translation automatic. This is tipically the case of kernel packages (as Martin rightly said), dictionary packages, localization packages, etc. So your idea is deeply appreciated. I don't think though there is a way to disable (or reenable) the email interface for certain packages only. (if I say something inaccurate I hope someone will correct me once again :). Or anyway a way to bypass the review process for some established and repetitive translation. If there is a way to implement something like that I am sure it would be very welcome by most translators. Thanks, beatrice
