As i am informed and as far as i know, you haven´t done nothing all this time, 
what are you talking about?? You dont haven't made glossary, everything you 
have is opensource glossary from our project in the ministry of education, 
glossary from http://www.gia.ge , and your project of micro$oft windows 
localisation (it has share about %10, not more). It means that nothing is 
done... even 1st stage...

Also duplication problems were predefined, we all were assured about that - 
vladimir has contacted me and we were talking about this problem too. We had 
no other choice - we had to work effectively and right, so we (they) have 
merged translations of parallel projects and e.t.c. everythings done. We are 
waiting for your servers @gia.ge. After that we (georgians) will work with 
full throttle... We use rosetta, while we dont have (at this moment) other 
online translation tools...

What about time that you have wasted? What are you doing now?

Im using linux since 2004! What then? Trolltech? i think they are working 
under Qt for KDE. We have made our own distribution for schools in georgia, 
and what? It means nothing.

Even KDE is now 90% translated but not submitted by us, its because we are 
waiting for you to correct translations, but i dont think that you can handle 
this.

You have created you own alternative translation site for Firefox.. Why??? Its 
officially already done on GIA by Gia Shervashidze, and now he is going to 
FOSDEM to Mozilla. You knew that and you were making your own translation 
site. Same situation is with Opera browser... You are flagging projects.

Ok, forget about it... Why are we here? We need your help friends as alinux
