There's a special message string 'translator-credits', which should not be translated, but instead contain the name(s) of the translator(s) of the current translation, separated by newline characters. E-mail addresses in <foo@bla.com> after the name are optional.
This special string is used by GtkAboutDialog and GnomeAboutDialog (not sure whether it's also used in the KDE world) to display the translation credits in the about dialog.
However, many translators don't know about this special string and just translate it into their language, which means that developers importing translations have to edit it manually, which is, erm, suboptimal.
Rosetta should handle this string automatically, and put the names of the contributors in there.
Cheers

This string is used by GtkAboutDialog and GnomeAboutDialog (not sure whether it's also used in the KDE world) to display the translation credits in the about dialog. It's also used in Ubuntu documentation <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+sources/ubuntu-docs/+pots/aboutubuntu/pt/+translate?offset=20>.
However, many translators don't know about this special string and just translate it into their language, which means that developers importing translations have to edit it manually, which is suboptimal. Even those translators who know how to edit it in Rosetta can't, because translators are supposed to be specified one per line, but Rosetta presents it as a single-line field.
