Youcef,

I'll make this one short.

Well, why then did you ask me to fix the bug of Sherif being there? 
You've basically asked me to remove him and put you instead. I'd say 
that it pretty much says that you believe you've got more right to 
translate the module than him, and he shouldn't really translate it 
without your permission. Or where did I misunderstand you here?

Thank you, I'm sure all will be resolved now. :)

You see, again, a 1-sec fix? And then you say you've never said he can't 
translate it. He does, and he has the right to commit. Maybe you should 
have emailed him straight away, rather than ask on list to remove him? 
I'd never, since it is not my place to decide on who of a certain 
language has what right. I'm happy to give someone certain additional 
rights under certain conditions, but I'm not going to take away anyone 
rights without a good reason, such as that a person is producing bad 
translations.

I'd encourage everyone to join a translation team, but you have to 
understand that just because someone doesn't belong to a certain group, 
I am not going to revoke his rights to translate a module.

Best Regards,
