--- Comment #44 from Jarosław Staniek <stan...@kde.org> --- tl;dr translations are not works living alone, they serve for the software and the goals, not the other way round I think the software authors that were involved in related discussions (long before this ticket was created) have something to say on the topic and they have shared their position based on the fact that the app projects will exist without your "cancel" improvement, not the other way round. Translations as a whole is a subproject and yet a single translation for a minor market is a tiny percentage of the work that builds entire KDE, no matter how appreciated. And above all, you're building on the work of others that worked here before you came. You've not answered to the proposal on "our own fork of translations", hence your less than ideal reputation in my eyes wrt the openness to find a working solution. This time you seem to drag every sentence out into a separate discussion as if you have too much time for this. I am not willing to contact you with the past language committees and can only friendly state I presume it is pretty much hard to mostly anonymous individual like you. To show my patience I'll refer you to norms around the https://sklep.pkn.pl/pn-iso-iec-2382-9-1998p.html - you can buy them there are browse. Yes, this is a paid content as every official norm of this kind. Regarding who's depending on which work, I think app maintainers have the right of last word and are (friendly) reviewing your work and performance - because it is natural to me since the beginning that you're translating (also my own) original phrases and sentences that are part of software I donate. And yet, it is not once that the translations are problematic, to say at least, and thus harm the performance of the project's goals. My recent finding is that by your solitary decision for the massive change also broke the quality of documentation. I see no reason why the translation subproject should be positioned differently in a software project than the UX subproject or documentation or marketing etc. You seem quite disconnected from the nature of KDE and FOSS in that you've missed the concretization of goals (end user link at https://dot.kde.org/2019/09/07/kde-decides-three-new-challenges-wayland-consistency-and-apps) where `consistency` between all software on given OS is the grand term. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
