I agree with Jordan that this discussion is not headed anywhere
productive.  But just to clarify the situation:

 * From: John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu>

 * not going to be 100% perfect the first time around.  However, if you read the
 * archives for -doc/ you will notice that almost every time somebody started
 * griping and complaining about a glitch or a proposed claim, it was the Japanese
 * team that was jumping up and down while all the other translations worked to
 * make the change.  The notable exception to this was the recent
 * /usr/local/share/doc/fdp vs. /usr/share/doc issue.  That is the problem: the
 * French group hasn't been yelling or jumping up and down about this transition,
 * neither has the Spanish group or the Russian group.  Instead, they have

Um, the French group doesn't have to worry about reorganization
because they didn't have anything to reorganize. ;)  (As Nik said, the
French guys have been waiting for "months" for this to happen, so
their work can be imported.)

As to why the Japanese group is always the one that has problems with
moving things around, maybe it's because of this.

(I sorted the output by language to make it more readable.)

There's simply much more stuff for the Japanese translation team to
handle than any other languages....
