Bug#917995: debian-policy: drop section 1.6 Translations



Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.3.0.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I hereby propose to drop section 1.6 Translations and the following
sentence: "When translations of this document into languages other
than English disagree with the English text, the English text takes
precedence."

If it is wrongly translated, then the English text probably isn't
clear enough (otherwise the translation would have the same meaning)
and would need to be clarified anyway to avoid being ambigious.  Even
if not, the same process can be used to clarify the meaning of
non-English versions.

There should be no need to put one language over others.

Ansgar
