I will do so then. However the point is that translations are supposed to be accurate to the source material, not altered because a translator dislikes the content. We do not want a 4kids translation of Wesnoth. If we find that is being done, then further translation updates will not be accepted into mainline.

Hi, feel free to delete the offending pages from the wiki hosted by wesnoth.

As the general topic, translators are making decisions at every string they
meet. These decisions are discussed here among translators. That would
be quite new that the PM is getting involved in these choices for a particular
language.

Finally this mailing list is used to collaborate on the French translation in
French. I will not answer any other mail in English on the topic.


Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

I am the current Wesnoth project lead. The wiki page https://wiki.wesnoth.org/TraductionRaces was brought to my attention by another contributor. Translations are meant to follow the meaning of the source text as closely as possible, not to change or water down the meaning because of personal distaste for certain lines of dialogue. If there are issues with the source text then the issues should be discussed with the development team as has happened many times before. Additionally, Wesnoth is not aimed at young children, it's intended to be PG-13 (ages 13+).
