I think the work is doable without CVS access, and translation is not code (which is what the CVS is for in the first place).
the translations are implemented as code, eg: say stupid "dumb". in addition language itself is a code. if you really aren't going to add him, please revoke my PD developer status and unsubscribe me from this list. but then i can't really detect sarcasm in email too well despite using it often myself..
Cheers,
