Ideally, the Rosetta and upstream translators need to work together. But a lot of change yet needs to occur to achieve this.The pt_BR GNOME and Ubuntu teams made an agreement; basically, Ubuntu translators would help us translating GNOME (without Rosetta) and then would get this downstream to Rosetta. We (G+U) are probably going to assign translators to package (every package must have some responsibles), which is the Ubuntu-l10n-pt_BR way.
Thanks for that info, Leonardo. :)Your decision makes sense: focus the effort at the source of the data, then shift it to distribution.
Assigning translators per package isn't a bad system: it gives people responsibility and a feeling of identity with software they translate. As long as all the completed files still go through QA, it should work OK.
