In general Rosetta is not very recommended, since it has some quality control
problems. Rosetta developers repeatedly stressed that the only possible
quality control is via the team owner of each language, they should do
everything
possible to make sure the translation quality is ok, like telling all
team members
to read translation style guideline, discuss among themselves before committing
translation, and so on. Once a bad guy is let through, there will be no more
QA, and it is close to impossible to fully trace who did what.
