Yes it should be/must be possible, because they can commit code, and with that also change the po/pot files. > Anyway, if that's the case, *please do not attempt to translate > (accept and review, actually) applications unless you are a member > of the l10n teams. *I know people want to collaborate with > elementary, but that's why we have structured teams. > > I've encountered with several badly translated strings (just > because I keep a pretty meticulous track of modifications dates of > all the elementary apps) made (accepted and reviewed) by people > that are not members of any l10n team.

You are right, however there are also teams that don't follow that progress at all like the french-team.
