Christian, I absolutely agree with all of the above. I regard Benno's mail as 
very unfriendly, too. Granted, there are still some things that need 
polishing on our side, but I certainly did not purposefully try to piss 
anyone off. On the contrary. Alas, trying to sort out those problems with the 
TP did not work out.

Therefore, I suggest to remove the translations from the TP. I'm quite certain 
that we will have enough translations flowing in through other channels. 
Working on Open Source should be fun, after all.

Regards,
Tobias
