Comment 7 for bug 348855

Since our languages set-up is global, and some applications depend on having things like es_ES (which are hidden if they don't exist already, but people can still hack URLs to get there), we can't easily disallow creation of such translations (i.e. libgweather sets different default locations for es_ES, es_AR, es_MX...).

We also don't remove translations when they disappear from imports for many different reasons (i.e. LP might have a good translation for what used to be a bad PO file in import).

If you want a translation removed, please ask for it on https://answers.launchpad.net/rosetta and give us exact details of what you want removed. Also, please talk to people doing the translation beforehand, so they don't start doing it again, and so we make sure we are all on the same page.
