This isn't the first time I've had problems with Crapootle. UFO: Alien Invasion suffered from similar, yet not as extreme issues, which eventually led to me dropping out of the translation effort (though it was mainly the fact that there was no centralised repository of translations so we couldn't collaborate, a wholly different issue from this).
Well, so I registered a new account as 'Superuser' and... I was not allowed to log into it. Nothing. Didn't even get a confirmation email. When I did try to log in, at first it spat out a generic error. On a second attempt, it told me my account was inactive. What on earth is going on?!
My credentials in open source translation can be seen here. I have a strong commitment to creating consistent, high-quality translations. Though I have indeed left some translations incomplete (UFO:AI due to poor infrastructure, Xonotic due to being busy, FreeCol because it's a massive set of strings), I generally deliver, and very well too. OpenTTD is probably my finest work, which is still a work in progress. Lichess (HTML5 chess - the very best on the web!) a close second, with a very thoroughly reviewed and re-reviewed translation that has been through a number of iterations. Above all, I offer consistency, which most OSS translators seem to ignore as an aspect of high-quality work.
But when the system is broken, I cannot work on the greatness that is Unvanquished. I seriously wish you installed a Transifex instance instead! What a reliable, fine system that is...
PS: the account 'Root' is also mine, I created it in my frustration at Pootle's refusal to operate for me. Please delete it.
