+Transiflex is the workflow tool for the translation process that was 
+decided on within the translation team. As this tool is quite new to most 
+of us, we're still trying to find our way around in it and mistakes can 
+happen due to our combined inexperience with the tool. Keeping things 
+properly in sync in both svn and transifex is also a process that we'll 
+end up mastering through working more with it.
+
+In my experience Oliver has been trying very much so to make any needed 
+changes without as little fuss as possible for all the language teams. 
+While we all can still learn from gentle corrections and pointers, I think 
+they should be delivered in exactly that way: gentle. I find your messages 
+cutting into Oliver's work anything but. Finally, if you want to argue over 
+things already decided within the i18n team, please feel free to join it.
+
+My two cents worth,
+
