I'm going to reply just to defend myself from your accusations. You
hadn't to get offensive just to say "we don't want your translation".

Maybe it's nonsense for you, but certainly it isn't for others. That's
something very natural, other translations are nonsense for me too.

Our translation is in valencian language, using the normative from the
Real Academy of Valencia Culture (http://www.racv.es). I'm not inventing
anything.

You may say that you're valencian and all but you should agree with me
that you work in catalan, and consequently you use the normative from
the Institute of Catalan Research (http://www.iec.cat). I respect your
choosen language as much as I would expect you respect ours.

Saying we're poisonning upstream is real nonsense. I don't think any
software translation will destroy anything, but intolerance will.
