Thank you very much for detailed the explanation.

That's great news, thanks for explaining that. No problem for me, I use
only a general UTF-8 enabled text editor to perform the work. If I only
knew the address of the repository I would start immediately.
Is this a better plan: ask Bartosz Fenski to approve updated Polish
translations, notify you of new files by commenting here, and finally
send proposed changes to Ubuntu Polish translators?
