No.
You have a very good knowledge of translation tools and constraints
related to translations and your experience and your work are valuable
for us.

Just you don't know our constraints related to the Kicad code and tools
used to create and maintain dialogs.

Good decisions always take in account these constraints, and often are
compromises.
