Right. However he was talking about "functionality", you were talking about
the 3 cdb apps in particular. Thats why you can't compare those statements.
What I merely did was "fixing" this error by comparing Thomas' statement
about the cdb apps with yours. See above.

Well, obviously not mine alone, because i.e. the translators
weren't exactly happy about having 3 times the amount of work for 1 kind of
functionality. Did the translators gave their consent to translate 3 very
similiar apps ? Surely not.
But correct, I was talking about my consent here. Not because I have more
power to decide the matter, but maybe because I know more about the
consequences it has (i.e. for the translators).

Possible, I probably don't know enough about the "side effects" a certain
kind of wording has for native speakers. Feel free to teach me here, to
avoid similiar kinds of problems in the future.

Great, then give the affected people a chance to find a consen_sus_.
