Every time a project is imported from anywhere else to DL, we have to review the complete PO and usually correct dozens, if not hundreds, of mistakes. Many of them because translators not in a team usually follow their own experience and rules to translate, while we have quite strict ones, with reviewers, and so on.
Many of us use those translated apps in DL to populate our TM databases, which we trust, but if from time to time projects are imported, then our TM databases are ruined, and more work gets duplicated. No, please, I stand against importing "from time to time" projects into DL, if they are translated elsewhere at the same time.
