That page was created before you or Ž.Beručka ever touched these translations. This page is not about war. It only asked to respect my opinion on "file" translation. I know how GPL works, know that I gave up my copyrights on translation and I asked only for respect. If translators have moral standards, they respect work of others. Ž.Beručka choose to ignore it. Running "find & replace" is a lot easier than doing whole translation. War in emails started when he (and you) ignored personal emails and reacted only after public outcry. Like page on my site said before some angry person removed that clause two days ago, Ž.Beručka could replace "file" if people on Lithuanian mailing list agree on term. My point was that there are different opinions and people can't agree on one word. I am pretty sure that he never asked mailing list about it. Even if I missed it, he could point me at mailing list archives or show voting results. If situation changed and I am the only "byla" person left, then he would not have any problems in replacing the term. Now my attitude is definitely changed and I won't agree on term change even when Supreme Leader asks for it. He does not respect me and he does not have any moral rights to impose own term version on me. -- Tomas _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
