Bug Description
I uploaded translation corrections and new translations in po-file for JOSM on 2018-03-23. I did as advised on upload page: "edit only the strings and then upload it back to Launchpad". This resulted in all my translation being attributed to another user given as "Last-Translator" in po-file. I can no longer find my upload from import queue, but for instance this translation is attributed to another user, though translated by me: <link removed>. It seems I should have changed the "Last-Translator" in po-file before uploading. But this probably shouldn't be necessary. Even if "accidentally" attributing decent quality translations to someone else isn't necessarily a big problem then this probably also allows someone else to spoil the translation file in my name. This shouldn't be allowed.
Edit: Apparently message ids keep changes and so I don't know how to link to particular message. Instead, here's the patch diff, where all updates to Estonian (et) translations should be by me (though Launchpad translation interface attributes these to another user): https:/
