As an editor, I have enough problems having to deal with tags in sources added by the Translate extension, but I didn't expect a language admin to revert a change of mine meant to improve the documentation just because it suits his particular translation. I was trying to remove a blatant redundancy in the source, yet he won't accept the change because "it is fine as it is" for the Japanese translation, which I doubt very much...

I have no problems changing whatever I do wrong, but this isn't the case here.

yeah, there's enough issues with outdated docs, rather support those trying to update things. The old translations are kept, just because its translated doesn't mean that it can't or shouldn't be updated.

I agree with @Tactica amiga, it's redundant in that page. It shouldn't matter whether the page has been marked for translation or not.

Translation unit 13 should be rewritten without removing the unit 14.

@Shirayuki Here's a novel idea: translate the *whole* page into Japanese, not only the lists and the captions in it. Maybe then you realize something is wrong.

Other than that I don't have much more to say on the matter except claim that this is an act of sabotage against the whole translation effort here.

Who promoted this guy to language admin? There are strings on that page which CANNOT be translated as it is ATM, just look at the Spanish version (I'm presuming the Japanese version is a hack). He keeps undoing changes arbitrarily so unless this is resolved TODAY I'm saying f*** it all.

(Update: OK, now I understand what he meant with translating stuff in the linked pages. But the point remains that the change is benign anyway, he keeps undoing changes just for the heck of it.)
