"Translator" is not only a BetaWiki user. I (and other people) translate
directly in the PHP file(s). One could be both developer and translator, and
even handle both translations and i18n problems.
Generally speaking, it is important not to have conflicts between BetaWiki and
the SVN translators. Indeed, no one owns a language, but some people don't like
to see other people "interfering" their translation work; and if the
translation
quality is bad, it is even more annoying. Thus, I suggest that if a trusted
person says a translation quality is bad, it would not be commited; I also
suggest that if a person with SVN rights, who speaks the language, clearly
opposes the current translations in BetaWiki, they will not be commited. If one
doesn't want to use BetaWiki, he still "edits" the MediaWiki messages in
BetaWiki, and BetaWiki translations should not override his translations without
asking him about it.
