Subscription policy of Ubuntu translation teams

While Launchpad Translations provides a tool to enable collaborative online translation of Ubuntu with a very low entry barrier, we want to make sure that contributions are up to the quality which Ubuntu sets. We also want to ensure that translations being imported from other upstream projects are only changed when necessary (e.g. bug fixes, spelling mistakes) and that translators are conscious of the implications of the change and of the necessity to forward them upstream.

A too open model does not allow for this, and puts the balance on quantity over quality.

For this reason, we ask all Ubuntu translation teams in Launchpad to use a Moderated or Restricted subscription policy.
