 You are missing the point entirely.

 Around new year, you told the world how superior the translatewiki
process was, and implicit how bad a translation was the result of
individual translators. This is the reason I have no intentions
whatsoever of doing anything else than proving how wrong that
statement was. My translation work until that point was, and still is,
fee, so I fail to understand the point of your different dollar
amounts.

 I will continue pointing out those hilarious examples of
worse-than-none translations that ensues from the naive thought that
anyone will ever proofread a translation, when it has first been
marked as translated. There are many more similar examples, and as you
can see, this particular instance is more than two months old.
