I do completely agree with you that there should be clear conversation between maintainer and translator. Both are important in the process of reaching the Universal goal. I would agree on setting a policy saying that translators must file wishlist bugs to present the maintainer their reasons for a future layout change. I do not agree to binding any typographical stuff to the original with no appeal. I think we should be rational here, different languages do have different needs. So I suggest we: set a policy defining that layout changes are acceptable but must be taken to the maintainer's review and, if maintainer desagrees with translator, the discussion should be taken to an appropriate i18n-tech-ctte forum (that could even be debian-devel, as we have lots of people speaking lots of different languages here). > that can satisfy all the languages we have in Debian.

Sure, but that does not mean the typographical rules/recommendations for each languages should not apply.
