"Failas" was not consistent with Gnome until "byla" was unilaterally
replaced by some person and it is not consistent with other Gnome Office
translations. So don't tell me about consistency. If they wanted
consistency, they had to replace all gnome office translations instead of
replacing the only translation, that had translator's veto on "file"

I've raised the problem 2 months ago. Committer and coordinator choose to
ignore it.

Let's start with all my translations that were committed in 2003-2004 and
latter corrupted by others. You don't know history of Lithuanian Gnome, if
you think that my contributions in this translation are not important.

These are not general translations rules of the team. These rules were
rewritten by translation coordinator, when he decided to ignore others.
Current coordinator does not defend rules, he defends status quo and
status quo reflects only opinion of one person and people who latter
joined the ship.
