Need to translateeeee.... I would even translate C++ into Spanish if it was going to compile that way...

I am no admin or other major dude like that, but let me explain my view about this translators deleting others stuff.
Hungarian language is currently updated by two guys: one translates, its me, and when major changes come, the other man reviews it (both names are included in the language file). I don't  think that more than 2-3 people are needed to maintain a language. After all translating MsgPlus is not so large work to do: i did it in a matter of hours, and updating is even less. No need for a whole group of people. Two are in charge, and if the translation is buggy or late, it is clear who has to work a bit more. So my point is: a few people who have been active so far should do the language, and if they wish to quit then the empty post should be refilled. No need for a bunch of people per language, small teams should be more efficient and argue less.
As I said previously, this is only an opinion, I tried to be constructive.

I agree. The problem (at least here with spanish-spain translation) is that there are 4 or 5 translators who don't help and not even answer emails saying they don't want to help. Those people were the very first translators and/or people who once said they wanted to help but never did. That's why I sometime translators should be removed.

Why don't we use some open source CVS System, I'm sure there are some ready-to-use packages. In this way It could be updated and logged very efficiently. Don't you think?

well, maybe the translation responsability should be earned each time so the problem that Choli describes would be no more

I've already said many time to translators that when they think someone should be removed, they tell me. I then email the guy and if I dont get any good answer, I remove him from the list.
