Thread:Support/Language coordinator

I talked with a friend who is a member of KDE Serbian translation team about what should be done if two or more users do not agree about translation, terminology or other language issues. He told me the following, and I quote:

"As people are aware that in practice the translation is a very subjective thing, then it is determined who is in charge of that language (the person is often called "coordinator"), and what the coordinator says, that's final. It is very important that the coordinator has technical means in order to be his last. If there is someone new and do not agree about some issues, and do not convince the coordinator what they want, they can leave; if they just start to work beside the warnings, then the chief will prevent that using his/her technical means.

As to who is in charge of a translation unit, in voluntary undertakings it's the one who first came on the project *AND* work on a regular basis. The coordinator can be changed only if he leaves the project or stops to work regularly. There is no other way — for example, referring to any writings, even if they are from God itself, do not pass."

This method is used in many open source projects, including Gnome, KDE, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva etc. Something similar could be applied here. What do you think?
