<span lang="EN-US">1. My name is Anh Phan and as I have written as above, I am the translator for VLC in Vietnamese.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">From the 2009, I loved the idea of VLC, providing a good way in communicating and streaming method for everybody in free. That’s the reason I chosen to joined in the project.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">At the time I joined in, there wasn’t any thing called Transifex, I had to download the PO file and edit it.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<span lang="EN-US">The person as I knew who was, is, and will be The Real Maintainer in Translation, is Christopher Miebach, not someone, just by one entry in the whole translation, jumped in and threatened me.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">Vietnamese Translation Software is a new community, a free community, a forums which I am going to set up.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">In that forum, not just VLC, it will hold about over 200 projects of Vietnamese Translation for software all around the globe.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">That’s the reason why I have put the phrase of Vietnamese Translation Software in the entry “About VLC” on iOS translation.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">Why did I set up a free forums just for containing the translation of Vietnamese of softwares?</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">Till now, the trend of localization for Vietnamese is just a bunch of folks, who like at this time, translate the X project, after that time, they refused to continue.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">They translated with no rules set for standard translation.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">So, the idea for a forums, where will set the standard for translation and host a collection up-to-date localization for Vietnamese has become my plan.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">VLC is a community, where the postion of each person is declared and decided by the maintainer of Translation Group not made by a choice from a suddenly programmer from no where.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">He claimed that by the entry I put in, he doesn’t agree and now he deleted the whole of my translation.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">What is this?</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">Is the a group of working together, sharing together the energy of Freedom Software?</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">OR</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">This is a group that depends on just one guy, the dictator in the real time?</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">Vietnamese is a language that I am fluent. What do you think about one day, a guy from Germany, sends to you a pm and “I wont accept that”, and he just a programmer, not the in-charge of Translation Group in maintaining?</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">I got the threatening private message from a guy, and what is the justice for this?</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">I come to VLC with my sharing emotion, not coming here for threating in receiving.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">I am not a criminal, I am a translator with heart and soul, and who is going to fuck around with me just waited for the shit of it motherfucker.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">2. By all the content in 1 section, the position of maintaining the language for translation has to be reviewed again.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">We can’t not let a guy who just walks in, and not Christopher Miebach, demands you to withdraw all your hard-working in translation, demands you to do this and do that with just a bull shit reason.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p><p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">I was demanded to delete the whole of my translation just for 1 entry.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span lang="EN-US">I was demanded in obeying the command from a dictator.<br>I was demanded in withdrawing the whole beautiful things that I have created for my babe: VLC by whom?</span></p>
