Ubuntu Tranlators have translations right for many other projects, not only Ubuntu. (ex. Gnome DO https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/do > If there would be eg.

If I am an active translator I would like to be able to translate all projects in Launchpad and then I will have to join 415 groups. Is someone from this group happy to join that amoung of groups? * Only Ubuntu Translator has 192 teams for each language. 415 projects * 192 languages = 79680 groups I see this as an administrative bargain. > I think it should be (about) like this, since one can join multiple > translation groups and a successful background in other translation > groups should allow joining to be also more easy.

It is a small project and it's maintainer want to allocate his time for developing the project and not creating and assigning new translation groups. What is wrong with GNOME Do assigning Ubuntu Translators as it's translations group? In Launchpad there are many small projects and theirs developers are not very concerned about localization. They want to have their application translated in other languages but they are not happy to spend to much time with setting up translations groups. Having a well established and trusted Launchpad Translators group will enable project coordinators to make their application available in other language with just a few clicks. This is my point of view as an active translator using Launchpad and coordinator or Ubuntu Romanian localization team.
