People from outside Ubuntu Translators can translate

[Daniel Nylander]

Me and Og Maciel noticed that people who are not part of any translation group can translate applications stating Translation group: Ubuntu Translators and Permissions: Restricted.

For example:
https://translations.launchpad.net/billreminder

An fairly unknown Swedish translator did some changes to this translation without being part of Ubuntu Swedish Translators (which is a subgroup to Ubuntu Translators). That should not be possible.
It's is VERY difficult to get close to some level of quality assurance when people do a lot of "hit and run" translations without being part of an structural translator group.

We're talking about Mårtin Woxberg's contributions, right? It turns out the issue there is a very different one. A Swedish translation file that was uploaded (as a "published" upload) on 2008-06-24 listed him as the last translator, and so the new translations made in that file are credited to him.

This could be handled better; see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/last-translator-handling

Considering this one superseded by the blueprint.

Hi Jeroen,

Daniel was refering to user Zahirovic Mensur actually.

Cheers,

Og

Indeed, Zahirovic Mensur is listed in the current POFile's header as the last translator.
