In my mind, it would be better to let the team approve it. While
crawling the Git to have a look at older German translations, I found
some work of people, who had really no experience with the GNOME
translations. In most cases, the translations were even written by the
(German speaking) developers itself...

We have a perfect tool named »Damned lies«, and we should use it for all
our work. You should always forward such things to the D-L pages, or
recommend the translator to become a team member of his/her language.

Cheers,
Mario
