Hi marco, I am aware of that. My main concern is the users that aren't even aware that they can customize QGIS language without reinstalling it and get stuck with a poor-quality translation. If on top of that the translation changes too much from one version to another, people can get very frustrated and lost and blame it on the QGIS project. That's what I wanted to avoid. If people understand where the translations came from, and that there is a place where they can actually improve it, maybe they get involved... maybe...
